Fred from Scooby Doo
622 votes
Velma is not the only Scooby Doo character who is very gay seeming. Nope, there's also Fred, the so called leader of Mystery Inc. (not sure why he's the leader, except I guess maybe it's his van) Many people are always saying how Fred and Daphne would go off and explore alone, and were maybe having sex while Scooby and Shaggy were eating stuff and Velma was looking for her glasses. But I always thought Fred gave off a very serious gay vibe. . .

Yogi Bear and Boo Boo
315 votes
Yogi and Boo Boo are just about as obvious as Bert and Ernie (who would so be on this list if they weren't puppets) Running around Jellystone National Park, buck naked except for their little ties like Chippendales dancers. Some have suggested that their whole relationship is kind of pedo, with Yogi in the child predator role. But maybe it's just me, but Boo Boo never seemed so much younger than Yogi to suggest a kid, he was just way, way shorter. If they were indeed gay, then these two are pioneers in the GLBT community, as they were part of the gay Bear Community decades before any real humans were.
Yogi and Boo Boo seemed to co-habitate the same cave. And not in a "we’re just roomates" kind of way.Cindy Bear wanted nothing more than to get herself some Yogi love, but Yogi seemed to want nothing to do with her. Considering she was the only female bear in Jellystone, you'd think Yogi wouldn't be so picky. Unless of course girls just weren't his thing.
