Less than 2 weeks ago The WinePress reported that the children’s cartoon channel, Nickelodeon, released a sing-along song featuring a drag queen singing about the various identifications among the LGTBQIA+ community – on the show “Blue’s Clues & You.”
The children’s network, however, is doing more than just that to build advocacy for Pride Month.
‘The Meaning Of Pride’
On June 5th, the network published another music video featuring Nina West – the same drag queen depicted in the “Blue’s Clues” program – singing a song about the colors of the Pride flag, titled, “The Meaning of Pride.”
The 150-second song features West explaining the different colors of the Pride flag, describing the meaning to each color.
Wave that Pride flag up high, be true to you (Yeah!)
Go Big! Be Kind! Be You!
Doesn’t it just fill you with pride? Showing how you are on the inside. Never have to hide yourself away, there’s a place for you.
Some of the lyrics
Reboot Features Lesbian Mom
Several days prior to the release of the sing-along for “Blues Clues,” the network announced that a returning character is now a sodomite.
The hit 90’s and early 00’s show “Rugrats” is getting a reboot and its animation style completely redesigned.
One of the popular characters of the show, Betty DeVille, mother of the toddlers Phil and Lil, has now been rewritten to be a single lesbian mother.
In the original show, the character was already established to have been a feminist, sporting the symbol for a female on her sweater, and was clearly the more dominant one in her marriage with her husband, Howard.
I think any representation for the community is important. Betty is a single mom with her own business who has twins and still has time to hang out with her friends and her community, and I think it’s just so great because examples of living your life happily and healthily as an out queer person is just such a beacon for young queer people who may not have examples of that. And yeah, Betty is a fictional cartoon, but even cartoons were hugely influential for me as a kid and if I’d been watching Rugrats and seen Betty casually talking about her ex-girlfriend, I think at least a part of me would have felt like things might be okay in the future.
I was really excited. Although I think anyone who watched the original show may have had an inkling Betty was a member of the alphabet mafia.
I was such a big, big fan of Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Rugrats, Doug, Ah! Real Monsters, Hey, Arnold, etc. Like, I watched all of it and Rugrats was a big one. Walking into Nickelodeon studios and auditioning for this role was such a big deal to me that I framed the ID sticker they gave me at the gate. Getting the part was incredibly joyous and I pinch myself every time I get to do it.

First-Ever Transgender Teen Actor
Nickelodeon has now become the first network to feature a transgender teenage actor in one of their programs.
Michael D. Cohen, a transgender himself and writer for the network, launched in December of last year a program called the Trans Youth Acting Challenge, to aid transgender and nonbinary children the chance to leapfrog into the business.
For his Nickelodeon show, “Danger Force,” he has cast Sasha A. Cohen (no relation), a 13 year-old transgender actor, along with twin sister Natalie R. Cohen. These two actors can be seen featured on an episode scheduled to air on June 19th, an episode that Michael co-wrote and directed.
I want Sasha to see his own power as an actor and as a human. I want him to feel proud of his work and feel real confident in himself in every aspect and to know that he will help change kids’ lives by being the first kid of trans experience on Nickelodeon in live action.
Michael told Variety
I had never felt comfortable about who I am, and I always thought that I would never play a transgender role. But there are so many kids out there who need to see someone like them — a role model who has the ability to put themselves out there.
Sasha Cohen
It has long been Nickelodeon’s mission to be a home for all kids, and to authentically represent them in their full diversity. This episode of Danger Force ultimately tells a relatable story of friendship, openness and trust, through the lens of sitcom. We’re incredibly proud of it and of everyone involved.

‘Cohen’s initiative has blossomed into a private Facebook page for parents and kids. Casting directors are also turning to him for leads,’ says the Variety report.
I was talking to a casting director the other day who is looking for a trans kid for a commercial for a major director. We always ask the parents first, but we were able to give him a list of 75 young actors.
We’re focusing on university students and grads to find stellar writing talent of trans experience so that we can have a database for producers and networks to draw from. I have been in conversations with a number of places, including The Writers Guild Foundation, and they are excited to be involved in the initiative.
Michael Cohen
The Network has also been making frequent social media posts to celebrate Pride Month. On the first day of June they tweeted a post of someone making “Pride pancakes.” And then on the 7th they tweeted a short commercial promoting Pride awareness and parades.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 7
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; [29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.Romans 1:24-32
[1] Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! [2] It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.Luke 17:1-2
This nation is so dead. I mean, just absolutely dead. A corpse that is still in the ER on life-support, but is still dead no matter how many times the doctors try to resuscitate it. I realize Nickelodeon is featured all over the world, but just these vile perverts here in America that continue to design and propagate this stuff, will have their day very soon.
Sodomy is an abomination in God’s sight, but when this habitual propaganda and grooming is pressed upon children, the Lord is going to burn that nation to ash. America’s days are numbered. And yet the PROUD professing “Christians” of this nation continually lie to themselves – thinking everything is okay and is actually getting BETTER – are in for a massive rude awakening.
The Lord HATES pride of any kind. And this nation has fully embraced and become one with the father of pride himself, Satan, that pompous fire-breathing dragon of the deep known as leviathan.
He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Job 41:34
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:5
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Why are they protecting the homosexual movement? It “unknowingly” allows male predators into women’s locker rooms and women’s restrooms. They’re supporting the very thing which they claim to be against. We all know why they replace the “P” with a “+.”
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 KJV
It’s amazing to see just how blatantly contrary society can be to the Bible.
Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18 KJV
yeah you got that right. That book is so contrary and OFFENSIVE to everyone today.
I can’t believe I used to watch Nickelodeon and enjoy it. It was good before 1998/1999 when Spongebob (the first ever gay Nickelodeon character) came about. Rugrats was cringe-inducing at times with its subtle adult themes, and Betty (Phil and Lil’s mom) was very butch and masculine and the husband was portrayed as a cowardly pushover. The rest was either gross out blue humor or dark, edgy and cynical too much even for 1930s cartoon standards! Now, we got sodomites invading it.
Fun fact: on an episode of To Catch A Predator, one of the pedophiles arrested was a cartoonist for Nickelodeon; go figure!
These prideful staunchly patriotic “Christians” are in for a scary wake up call, and that definitely includes those pulpit pimps on SBN the Swaggarts, that foolishly think God is still blessing this nation “yeah, keep telling yourself that, Donnie.” Donnie Swaggart even said that there’ll be generations of his SBN ministry going on, think that all ya want, but one day, it will all be dust and ashes.
I do not know why any Bible believer would watch TV, movies, or consume any mainstream media. I definitely would not allow kids to. Most modern parents use devices, including cell phones, to ‘babysit’ the kids. It’s all very sad to me.
Mitch – History, as such, turns out to be man groping forward, killing his fellow man in an effort to attain a form of government where he will not have to kill his fellow man.
That thing looks like a demon
