Fans had long suspected that minor characters Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durlandwere an item, but after the Sheriff helped save the deputy, they finally admitted their love for one another!

What makes the news even greater is the finale actually premiered on Disney Channel's sister network Disney XD, which is targeted at boys!

Gravity Falls joins Nickelodeon's The Legend of Korra and Cartoon Network'sSteven Universe, Clarence, and — to a lesser extant — Adventure Time as cartoons with out gay characters.2
