It's OBVIOUS she's lesbian! She has a MAJOR crush on Daphne and hates Fred as he has always loved her and dated her and so has Daphne (it is portrayed that they do it all the time). |

Since were on the subject, as a guy I dont think she was gay. I think she just represents a archetype ideal of women. Just like Daphne does. I think the writers of the show were very aware of this. Its kind of like the "veronica Vs. Betty" test but with a lot more contrast. As a single guy I can testify that I have gone through alot of Daphnes in my life but the Velmas are much more fun. |

Lesbian or not?
I must say that I disagree with the modern speculation that Velma was a lesbian. The reason I say this is because I have always identified w/Velma and I happen to be hetero. Here's what I think was really the deal: I think that Velma always had a crush on Fred, but knowing that she could never compete with Daphne for Fred's affections, she submerged herself in her only comfort, academia. Really, many average-looking, glasses-wearing, slightly stocky, braniac girls (are there that many of us??) are so intimidated by aesthetically beautiful women - there's no way that we would set ourselves up for that kind of humiliation; it's better to just show off the only stuff that we've got - our brains and humor - and hope that the guy will someday figure it out. I've been there and done that; and if the guy's that shallow, we're never going to win his affections (we know that he's not worth winning, anyway, but media driven social icons and imaging are difficult things to shake). I don't think that Velma ever allowed herself to get to a point where she realized that, or perhaps she was just so head over heels that just traipsing after Fred in any capacity was better than nothing at all. It's a bit dysfunctional, but more believable than the lesbian theory, to me.
See, there were only two men for Velma to choose from: Fred or Shaggy. Fred was ovbiously a cad, but he was smarter than Shaggy. And while good-hearted, Shaggy wasn't very bright. While dumb guys might be good for a tumble, they get boring after a while to a girl who needs someone who can understand what she's saying. It's really a pity, though, that Velma was never introduced to anyone with whom she could share her interests, male or female. Must've been lonely - no wonder she closeted herself with data. (Hmmmm... unintentional pun, but I bet she would have rather enjoyed the companionship of a certain Mr. Data...) --Ppfooie 04:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Uhhhhhhhhhh....it's a cartoon
Ah, well, Tasha Yar once got literally closeted with Data, as I recall... Wencer 08:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Well she did have a sort of romantic relationship in one of the movies. With a guy.--Marhawkman 22:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes she is, and the new back there has a point. Daphne did force her into that relationship. B.Lax 14:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Cartoon Network setup with Johnny Bravo
These two cartoon characters are together, aren't they? There was a mini cartoon shown on Cartoon Network where Johnny fell in love with Velma, though eventually they had to break up because Velma had to go and solve mysteries with the rest of Mystery, Inc.. --63.206.117.150 08:15, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Unique name?
I must say I'm not certain, but was the name "velma" created for this character? I've never heard it used anywhere else. 71.224.228.244 02:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- No. It's an obscure name. But after doing a google search I was able to locate several instance that had to predate this character. --Marhawkman 01:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Adding Lesbian info
Whether she is or not, the main Scooby-Doo page does have a whole subsection about the alleged sexual tones in it, and so i think that it should be at least mentioned in here, too. Violask81976 20:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
