West sang to the tune of the nursery rhyme “The Ants Go Marching,” but with its lyrics changed to teach young children about the LGBTQ community, as seen on the series’s YouTube channel last Friday, May 28.
The sing-along features the titular cartoon dog with an animated version of West marching with various animals in a Pride Parade. It also discussed different kinds of families, including those with transgender, non-binary, lesbian and gay parents.
“This family has two mommies/ They love each other so proudly/ And they all go marching/ In the big parade,” West sings.
“Love is love is love you see/ And everyone should love proudly,” West added as the animated parade ends. He also greeted the show’s young audience a happy Pride Month.
