It's been an open secret for years but Scooby Doo's Velma Dinkley has finally been confirmed as gay. The science whizz gets her first official love interest in the new movie 'Trick or Treat Scooby Doo!', released on Tuesday.
As reported by the Mirror, clips show the Mystery Inc member googly-eyed and tongue-tied when meeting costume designer Coco Diablo. Going viral on Twitter, the scenes have confirmed the suspicions held by Scooby fans for many years. “OMG LESBIAN VELMA FINALLY,” reads one Tweet, which has over 100,000 likes.
It's the first time the character has been confirmed as a lesbian on screen, after the series was first created in 1969. James Gunn, who wrote the early live-action films confirmed the character’s sexuality, but they were never able to make it official onscreen.
