How To Train Your Dragon 2 has gay character?

In the highly anticipated sequel to How to Train Your Dragon, a character named Gobber the Belch says there are two reasons he did not get married. During an interview on the red carpet at the film’s Canne’s premiere with writer/director Dean DeBlois, he stated, “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, who is openly gay, told E!: “I think that’s a really fun [and] daring move to put in. I love the idea that Gobber is Berk’s resident gay.” It will be interesting how this news is being incorporated into the dragons’ universe with How To Train Your Dragon 3, which comes out in 2016, and Cartoon Network’s DreamWorks Dragons, the television show based on the movie, in which Gobber is a recurring character. ~ Dylan Paisley
