Editing Stephen Stotch (section)

==About==
Despite their own psychological issues, Stephen and his wife [[Linda Stotch|Linda]] are stern, dedicated parents to their son [[Butters Stotch|Butters]]. They are never afraid to discipline or punish him for weeks at a time - or beat him mercilessly if he's been disrespectful. He's also not afraid to sell his son for two-hundred million dollars to the highest bidder. He does care about Butters though - enough to send him a camp to help him with his 'confusion', or to re-bury his body in a haunted Pet Cemetery in order to bring him back. He also coaches the boys' Little League baseball team.

Stephen is friends and drinking buddies with many of the other boys' dads, including [[Randy Marsh|Randy]], [[Gerald Broflovski|Gerald]] and [[Stuart McCormick|Stuart]], and his hobbies include building ships in bottles, smoking his pipe, and frequenting such classy establishments as the the White Swallow Spa and the Studcat Theater. His feelings for other men, which he often suppresses, have put a strain on his marriage that he and his wife are trying to repair. Despite his suppressed and abusive state, Stephen can have his moments of clarity, like defending the merits of free speech in town hall.
