‘Blue’s Clues’ releases LGBTQ-themed sing-along

In honor of LGBTQ Pride Month in June, Nickelodeon posted a video to its YouTube channel on Friday titled “Blue’s Clues Pride Parade Sing-Along.”

The video features an animated Nina West, famous drag queen and activist, singing to the melody of “The Ants Go Marching,” except with LGBTQ inclusive lyrics.

It showcases all types of families including animals with two dads, two moms, nonbinary children and others.

West wrote on Instagram, “Is there a better way to kick off Pride Month than with my pal, Blue?! No way! Singing and dancing in the streets celebrating Pride is so much fun, especially with all of our new friends! Check out the full video at the link in my bio! HAPPY PRIDE!”
