Velma's coming out 'means a lot to me'
Fans are celebrating the appearance of Scooby Doo character Velma Dinkley in the upcoming 'Trick or Treat' movie in which she appears to have a female love interest.
Scooby Doo film creator James Dunn, who produced the 2002 live-action film, confirmed that he originally wrote Velma as a lesbian before having to change it.
Since then, Velma's sexuality has been a fierce topic of debate. So how do fans feel about this?
"People don't realise how important representation is," says Trinity, a fan from Canada. "It meant a lot to me."
