Do you think Kids today are ready to see LGBT relationships in kid friendly films?



53 y/o Director James Gunn who did the live-action Scooby-Doo films in the early 2000s revealed that he wrote the character, Velma Dinkley as EXPLICITY GAY but Warner Brotehrs BLOCKED the choices and even edited out her ambigious references in order to not offend PARENTS and to protect the kids since it was geared toward families!!

Linda Cardelilini portrayed the character as one person had asked the director to make another live action lesbian Velma dreams come true but he wrote back "I tried. But the studio just kept watering it down & watering it down.".

Fans have long speculated her sexuality and many called for new iterations to show her romantic side with women as he said those deleted scenes are available online

He clarified though that she was gay in the 1st draft adding the locker scene where Velma serenades Daphne and then kisses her which was in his original script

In the sequel it was revealed that Velma had a boyfriend as the studio did not want to push an LGBT agenda on the kid friendly film

Since then Gunn has been directing Marvel Films with the successful Guardians of the Galaxy and though briefly fired over his past as trump supporters tried to take him down for his supposed "pedophile" personality, he was re-hired and is now expected to direct and release the Suicide Squad sequel
