After facing backlash over comments about LGBTQ+ representation in Lightyear, Snoop Dogg has released a new children’s track titled “Love Is Love”, partnering with GLAAD and featuring The Voice alum Jeremy Beloate. The song aims to celebrate diverse family structures and promote acceptance among young audiences.
What “Love Is Love” Brings
- The song is part of Snoop’s animated children’s series Doggyland, in which characters, including a puppy named Zippy (voiced by Beloate), sing about love and family.
- Lyrics emphasize that though parents come in different forms—two fathers, two mothers, or any other configuration—“the love won’t change.”
- During a video conversation, Snoop said the song is a “beautiful bridge to bringing understanding,” acknowledging that children naturally ask questions about family dynamics.
Context & Significance
- Earlier in the year, Snoop expressed discomfort around explaining a same-sex couple to his grandson in Lightyear, sparking criticism.
- This new release is widely viewed as a pivot toward inclusion, demonstrating how artists can respond and adapt in public discourse.
- Collaborating with GLAAD for Spirit Day, an anti-bullying initiative for LGBTQ+ youth, ties the release to broader advocacy efforts.
