Is Nickelodeon Featuring a Drag Queen for Pride Month?

Viral social media posts claim Nickelodeon shared videos of a drag queen:

Do you want to know why conservatives are losing the culture? Nickelodeon put out two videos in a week of a drag queen pushing gay pride on children and still most conservative parents will allow their children to watch shows on the network. That’s it. That’s why we lose.

Tell @Nickelodeon what you think about this. Tag them. DM them. Shame them. Bring back shame. https://t.co/NwGh0pRNaw

This claim is correct: The children’s television network created an original song for Pride Month titled “The Meaning of Pride.” The song is performed by drag queen Nina West, the stage name of Andrew Levitt, who rose to fame on the drag television show RuPaul’s Drag Race.
