It\u2019s teaching situations that kids in the world is going through right now in a beautiful way through song, dance, melody, just trying to get more clarity on how we live and the way we live. And I felt like this music is a beautiful bridge to bringing understanding,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are things that kids have questions about so now hopefully we can help answer these questions and help them to live a happy life and understand that love is love.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"articles grid-margin-x flex-container flex-dir-column\">\n<li class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x\"><a class=\"auto cell copy-container noimage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/snoop-dogg-lightyear-lesbian-kiss-my-bad-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b class=\"title\">Snoop Dogg says &#8220;my bad&#8221; for not knowing how to discuss Lightyear&#8217;s lesbian kiss with grandkids<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x\"><a class=\"auto cell copy-container noimage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/lightyear-writer-responds-snoop-dogg-lesbians\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b class=\"title\">Lightyear writer responds after Snoop Dogg expresses fear of on-screen lesbians<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Snoop added that \u201cbeing able to have parents from all walks of life, whether it be two fathers, two mothers, whatever it is, love is the key.\u201d He said, \u201cI think these kids are being loved by these great parents [who] are showing them an example of what family is.
