Nina West leads a Pride Month song for 'Blues Clues & You.'
"Blue's Clues & You" just put out a sing-along for kids that features an animated version of a"RuPaul's Drag Race" star ... who leads a song about Pride Month and inclusivity.
Nickelodeon posted the video Friday -- just days ahead of June 1, which marks the beginning of Pride -- and it features a cartoon rendering of, who's a fan fave from 'Drag Race,' leading on vocals -- narrating a parade that's passing her in the background. The song touches on the makeup of different families that fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella ... including households with two dads, two moms, non-binary children and more.
Words like"ace,""queer,""trans,""bi,"pan" and other identifying terms used in the community are sprinkled throughout -- and the song doesn't shy away from them ... noting that they can all be part of a family that loves one another. All the families are made up of different animals -- alligators, sharks, turtles, birds, cats, etc. -- that wave/rock rainbow flags.
Now, the overwhelming reaction to this appears to be positive ... with many taking to social media to praise 'Blue's Clues' for being progressive -- and taking proactive steps to teach kids about different family structures in a fun, catchy way that appeals to young children.
