Blue & Magenta (or Blugenta) is the ultimate ship! |
Whilst the image doesn't confirm that Blue, who happens to be a girl pup, and Magenta are a couple, it does hint that the pair are part of the LGBTQ+ community. If this is the case, it's fantastic that Nickelodeon are including more LGBTQ+ characters in their programming, which will help teach kids that it's perfectly okay to be part of the LGBTQ+ community! Reprsentation matters!
Broadway actor Joshua Dela Cruz stars as the host of Blue's Clues & You, succeeding original Blue's Clues hosts Steve Burns (Steve) and Donovan Patton (Joe). In the show, Cruz plays Josh, Steve and Joe's cousin. Both Burns and Patton appear regularly in the revival, reprising their respective roles.
Nickelodeon, as a network, voiced support for the LGBTQ community in the past. Last year, Nick Jr. shared a lesson over its social media platforms so kids could understand the meaning of the LGBTQ flag.
Nickelodeon proper also shared a tweet that caught attention as it appeared to confirm SpongeBob SquarePants to be a member of the LGBTQ community with Korra from The Legend of Korra and Schwoz Schwartz from Henry Danger and Danger Force. Michael D. Cohen, who plays Schwartz, revealed in a interview with Time in 2019 that he had transitioned 20 years ago.
Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month 🌈
