A song in the children’s cartoon show Blue’s Clues features a drag queen singing to children about gay, transgender, and nonbinary animals.
This is a show that toddlers watched, aimed at 1-2-year-olds. The controversial song segment is below. The popular series airs on Nickelodeon
“It’s the Blue’s Clues’ And You Pride Parade, and we need you to sing along as the ‘Families Go Marching’ proudly!”
“Hi Blue, look at all these families. It’s time for a pride parade,” a cartoon version of RuPaul’s Drag Race star Nina West says in the video, which was shared on social media.
The singer, who is holding a microphone with a raised fist icon, then points to a parade of animals, one of which has a family with “two mommies … [who] love each other so proudly.” Other families have “two daddies,” “babas [that] are nonbinary,” trans members,” “ace, bi, and pan grown-ups,” and “allies to the queer community.”
