When the Dean says gay don't beg to scribe him, do we know how he intifi if given the opportuny to expla ? The Dean is probably my send favore character and I jt fished the Gay Dean episo where they wanted him to jo the school board as a polil statement and pidgeon hole him to beg an openly "gay an" when 's clear that is bothersome to him bee 's a simple discriptn that don't accurately portray how he feels about himself.
But wh that said, how do the Dean intify if given the chance to provi that rmatn bee gay don't even beg to scribe him. Communy (TV seri): Why is Dean Pelton referred to as 'pansexual' stead of 'gay'?
IS "COMMUNY"S DEAN PELTON GAY?
