‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Character Comes Out as Gay


This is cool.

The animated sequel “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” will feature a viking who's gay. The character's name is Gobber and he's voiced by “Late Late Show” host Craig Ferguson.

Here's more from Yahoo News
Director Dean DeBlois told an E! reporter that he confirmed the character was indeed referring to his sexual orientation.

“When we were recording Craig Ferguson, I had written the line, ‘This is why I never got married,’ and he, as he often does, added it as an ad lib and he said, ‘Yup, Gobber is coming out of the closet,'” DeBlois said. “I think that's a really fun [and] daring move to put in. I love the idea that Gobber is Berk's resident gay.”
Again, very cool
