Velma\u2019s sexuality has long been a topic of discussion among fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe character is so iconic, and there\u2019s been so much speculation about her sexuality,\u201d Kaling said, &#8220;Persist.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/tv\/news\/velma-gay-mindy-kaling-hbo-max-animated-1235486503\/\">Variety<\/a>. \u201cI work on a couple other shows about young women, and it just felt like this gift to explore that, knowing that there\u2019s all these expectations for the character.
