SCOOBY-DOO'S' VELMA IS LESBIAN! Velma's character in Scooby-Doo has always been rumoured to be part of the LGBTQI community, but fans were never sure of her sexuality. In a now-viral clip posted by Twitter user @MythicalLlamaXO on 4 October, Velma meets Coco Diablo and is completely blown away by her beauty.

Out reports that in 2020, Scooby Doo producer Tony Cervone previously mentioned that Velma is not bisexual, she is gay.

I obviously don't represent every version of Velma Dinkley, but I am one of the key people that represents this one. We made our intentions as clear as we could ten years ago. Most of our fans got it. To those that didn't, I suggest you look closer. There's no news here, said Cervone.

This means so much to me!!! It's been way to f*cking long! Her queerness has been cut from so much of the media she's been in, wrote one tweep.

I remember booking Velma in 2008. It was my first big role in a movie. I also remember thinking I wonder if they know they hired a lesbian as Velma' here we are, 14 years later, wrote actress and singer Hayley Kiyoko.

The gays will always win.
