Velma turned women — the character was confirmed to be a lesbian after years of fan theories — in a new animated movie called Scooby-Doo… and the LGBTQ+ crowd is all around him.
Velma’s sexual orientation is revealed in a new trailer from the animated movie “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!” That hit streaming services Tuesday. Velma is shown confronting a fashion designer named Coco Diablo… and she is instantly in love.
Blush sees Velma looking at Coco, her glasses rotting and romantic music playing. Velma also appears to admire other characteristics of Cocos beyond just her looks, including her fashion sensibility and intelligence.
Interestingly, Velma is cast as being straight in the past… with a rebooted version of the series showing her as having an affair with Shaggy, although it was suggested by the showrunners that it was actually just a beard for her.
