"Rapper Snoop Dogg partnered with the LGBTQ+ media watchdog GLAAD on Thursday to commemorate Spirit Day, a day of support for queer youth. The rapper's involvement follows comments he made in late August, saying that he was "scared to go to the movies" after not knowing how to explain to his grandson a brief scene of one woman kissing another in the Pixar animated film Lightyear."
""It's a beautiful thing that kids can have parents of all walks and be shown love, to be taught what love is ... being able to have parents from all walks of life, whether it be two fathers, two mothers, whatever it is, love is the key,""
""Partnering with GLAAD for Spirit Day just felt right, because spreading love and respect for everybody is what real gangstas do. We're showin' the next generation that kindness is cool, inclusion is powerful, and love always wins.""
Snoop Dogg joined GLAAD to mark Spirit Day, demonstrating public support for queer youth and wearing the day’s trademark purple. He interviewed Jeremy Beloate, an out contestant he coached on The Voice, and discussed Beloate’s experiences with childhood bullying and familial support. Snoop emphasized that children can have parents from all walks of life and that love is the central value. He framed partnering with GLAAD as spreading love and respect, saying kindness and inclusion shape the next generation. Snoop and Beloate also collaborated on a Doggyland song, "Love Is Love," featuring same-sex couples and affirming family love.
