To kick off Pride Month festivities, Blue’s Clues posted an animated Pride Month parade video to their Blue’s Clues & You YouTube channel on Friday (May 28).
Featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race alum, Nina West, West performs a song that talks about different kinds of families within the LGBTQ+ community. While she sings, families of animals happily wave flags as they pass through on parade floats. Some of the family members shown include those who identify as gay, trans, asexual, non-binary, and bisexual.
One of the lyrics includes, “Families marching six by six hurrah, hurrah! Ace, bi, and pan grown-ups you see can love each other so proudly! And they all go marching in the big parade!”
Over the weekend, the video quickly went viral on Twitter. Many people expressed their excitement over the song.

West tweeted her gratitude shortly after the video went viral. She said, “Reading all the incredible comments about how impactful and powerful the latest Blue’s Clues video for Pride has been to so many is inspiring and humbling. Representation matters. Teaching kindness matters. YOU matter. Thank you @Nickelodeon @nickjr for including me.”
