Snoop Dogg Opens Up About Inspiring Kids With LGBTQ+ Stories

Snoop Dogg has caused mixed reactions among social media users after he recently joined forces with an LGBTQ+ organization and boasted about how having parents from different walks of life makes the world a better place. Snoop Dogg’s recent collaboration, however, comes after the rapper made controversial comments about queer representation in movies, sparking backlash from users and even a Disney movie writer.

Snoop Dogg, 53, recently opened up about his partnership with the LGBTQ+ organization, GLAAD, and his new song, “Love Is Love,” which he’s performing with a contestant from NBC’s show “The Voice.”

“It’s a beautiful thing that kids can have parents of all walks and be able to be shown love, to be taught what love is, because hate is taught, and so is love,” Snoop said in a video shared to his YouTube channel. “I think that being able to have parents of all walks of life, whether it’s two fathers, two mothers, whatever it is, love is the key.”

“I think these kids are being loved by these great parents that are showing them an example of what a family is,” he continued.

In a statement to Out Magazine, Snoop Dogg said that his goal with his new song is to teach the younger generation that love looks different for everybody.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about love, that’s what we’re teachin’ the kids with ‘Love Is Love.’ 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,” he said.

In the children’s song, Snoop and his collaborator waste no time singing and rapping about inclusivity, stating, “Different families make us all great / There’s no debate, that’s how we relate.”

According to a previous report from The Blast, Snoop Dogg came under fire in August 2025 when his comments about queer representation in children’s movies went viral, prompting several to accuse the rapper of being homophobic.

“They’re putting it everywhere! My grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, ‘Papa Snoop, how [does] she have a baby with a woman?'” Snoop said. “I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of sh-t that I don’t have an answer for.”

Shortly after his comments made headlines, Lauren Gunderson, a writer for the Disney film “Lightyear,” responded to Snoop’s stance on queer stories in cinema, writing plainly, “He sucks.” She took it even further, explaining how “bummed” she was to learn of the hip hop icon’s statements, but expressed hope that he’d join “the side of love” one day.

After the news of Snoop Dogg’s latest collaboration was shared online, many users chimed in with their thoughts, and the reactions were mixed.

Several users replied, pointing to his previous comments and wondering if his partnership with GLAAD made sense. “We didn’t forget what he said,” someone wrote, while another said, “Didn’t he just make a homophobic comment…”

Another user echoed that sentiment, writing, “What’s with the celebrities in Hollywood saying bigoted sh-t and then doing sh-t like this for damage control? EVERY TIME.”
