In the lead-up to Pride month, Lego has released its first set which celebrates the LGBTIQIA+ community.

Called “Everyone is Awesome,” after the “Everything is Awesome” song from the Lego movies, the new model features 11 buildable, colorful figures, inspired by the rainbow flag.

The set comprised of 346 bricks, will be released June 1 and will cost $34.99.

"Each monochromatic person in the set has a different hairstyle and color associated with them. The designers intentionally did not assign a gender to the figures."

More Woke insanity.

Glad my boys have grown beyond Legos, though we do have a large collection of Star Wars crafts. No more.

I demand that Lego redesign itself to have more varied connections. Right now, assembly is basically done is micro-aggressive, overly binary way in which male pegs are inserted into female receptacles. This is just indicative of a patriarchy consumed with hate.

If EVERYONE is awesome why do the alphabet people exclude and distinguish themselves apart from monogamous cisgender heterosexuals?

Why call us ‘vanilla’, ‘breeders’, ‘normies’ et al?

It is exclusive not inclusive

[a fool in paradise]

They don’t have any male-male or female-female connection adapters?

What about 3-way connectors?

If “everyone is awesome” then what’s with the focus on gay stuff?

Everyone is awesome ....Unless you’re a Trump supporter or a conservative then you’re not awesome, you’re a NAZI who should be murdered. Or better yet, commit suicide and save us the mess.

They need to have reversible tee tee’s and wee wee’s.

Nope, too phallic—obviously designed to perpetuate patriarchal, hegemonic power structures.

I predict they won’t sell many.

All Lego Minifigs are yellow!

And it can be assembled into a butt plug or artificial penis, too!

Except straight, white males. They suck and should be shunned until we can get them into internment camps....

Lego reveals first LGBTQ-themed set ‘Everyone is Awesome except Trump and His Supporters and Republicans and Anti-vaxxers and People Who Won’t Wear A Mask and People Who Think Sex Is Determined At Birth’

Everyone is awesome, huh? I think the world could use a lot more realistic humility.

[Uncle Miltie]

Even straight white Christian cis males?

Now I know what to get you for Christmas.
