Snoop Dogg Partners with GLAAD for Children’s Show
Snoop Dogg is teaming up with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to promote LGBTQ representation in his children’s series, following some controversy over his previous comments about Disney’s LGBTQ content in the movie Lightyear.
During a conversation with Jeremy Beroat, known from The Voice, Snoop shared insights about his YouTube animated series Doggyland. The two even collaborated on a track named “Love is Love,” featured in the show.
Beroat lends his voice to a puppy named Zippy, who joins the other puppies in singing “Love is Love.” It’s a celebration of familial love, while Snoop voices Bow Wizzle, a central character in the series.
The lyrics convey a message of acceptance: “We have different parents/No one is the same/But one thing’s for sure: our love will never change.” Various same-sex couples appear on screen, reinforcing the show’s inclusive message.
Snoop expressed, “It’s great that kids can have parents from all walks of life and be shown love…Love is the key.” He highlighted that the song aims to educate children about parenting and relationships through music, offering a beautiful means of understanding diverse experiences.
“This is a program we’ve been developing for years, and it addresses questions children have. We hope to guide them toward understanding that love takes many forms,” he added.
He stated his intention to teach his children that “love always wins.” Snoop emphasized the importance of kindness and inclusivity, remarking, “At the end of the day, it’s all about love. This collaboration with GLAAD on Spirit Day felt like the right move.” He conveyed that, as a true role model, spreading love and respect is crucial.
In August, Snoop had raised concerns about LGBTQ themes in children’s programming during an interview, sharing discomfort over a same-sex kiss in Lightyear, especially while watching with his grandson. He reflected on feeling out of place, noting, “People are throwing me into the middle of this without answers.” He worries about the questions children might ask regarding such content.
