Hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg is embracing inclusivity in children’s media after previously expressing discomfort with LGBTQ+ representation. He is now teaming up with GLAAD for Spirit Day, a national event dedicated to supporting LGBTQ youth, and opened up to The Voice contestant Jeremy Beloate about why he now believes in showing diverse families in his animated kids’ show, Doggyland.
In the chat, Snoop said he wants children to grow up understanding that “all families are special in their own unique ways” and that “love has no bounds.” That message is also at the heart of a new Doggyland song he created with Jeremy called “Love Is Love.”
Snoop, known for hits like “Young, Wild & Free,” shared how the song is meant to “build a bridge of understanding” for children. He added, “It’s a beautiful thing that kids can have parents of all walks of life and be shown love — whether it’s two fathers, two mothers, or anything else. Love is the key.”
According to TMZ, this comes after Snoop drew criticism in 2022 when he admitted he was caught off guard seeing a same-sex couple kiss while watching Lightyear with his grandkids, saying at the time he wasn’t prepared to answer their questions.
Now, the rap icon has had a clear change of heart — and is ready to help kids learn that love comes in many forms.
