IS NEIL'S DAD KEV OM THE TV SHOW "INBETWEENERS" GAY OR NOT?
* gay dad inbetweeners *
A recurrg theme throughout the programme is whether or not Kev is gay. There are subtle hts however that Kev is ed homosexual.
GAY DADS LIVE FEAR THEIR ADOPTIVE CHILD WILL KILL THEM
A dnk Will rponds by throwg a tira of abe at Kev about his moured homosexualy, llg him a 'Bumr' (a portmante of 'bummer' and 'benr'). In eher se, Kev has still not fotten that Will (along wh Neil's other iends) thks that he is gay as dited the airport scene the send film.
IS YOUR DAD GAY—OR ARE YOU A GAY DAD?
That said is likely that he dislik Simon that the former is amongst those who thk he is gay. He is on generally good terms wh Polly McKenzie and Pamela and Alan Cooper, although he is trated that they too believe him to be gay.
His relatnship wh Jay's relativ is ls clear though when he meets Jay's dad (apparently for the first time) Kev was thoroughly sulted by Terry who said he looked and talked like a gay vir, Kev was left both shocked and hurt. A recurrg theme across every seri is whether or not Kev is gay. Jay also believ the reason she divorced his father was bee he is gay.
The betweeners- very homophobic!

Its totally wrong to e that much homophobic remarks a show for sure.

The average teenager says 'That's so gay'.
