Lego is anti-LGBT and promotes only two genders, says Science Museum (not satire)

Search authors, topiLego is anti-LGBT and promotes only two genders, says Science Museum The plastic bricks may reinforce heterosexuality as the ‘norm’ because the blocks are seen as ‘male and female’, according to a tour at the London attraction Pile of colorful Lego bricks on a green baseplate. The self-guided tours have been put together by members of the museum’s Gender and Sexuality Network GETTY Laurence Sleator Friday February 07 2025, 10.00am GMT, The Times Lego is anti-LGBT and promotes the idea that there are only two genders, an exhibition at the Science Museum has claimed.

A self-guided tour at the London museum, entitled Stories of Queer Communities, Experiences and Identities says the plastic bricks may reinforce the idea that heterosexuality is the “norm”.

Alongside a display of Lego bricks, it states the public believe that: “The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating”.

This, the guide says, is heteronormative — a worldview that promotes attraction to the opposite sex above all others. It claims that because the public believe there are only male or female blocks coming together to form a union, genders such as non-binary or gender fluid are discounted. No source or evidence is cited to support these claims.

The museum, which has about three million visitors a year and in 2023-24 was visited by 1,174,000 children under 16, said there are only a “small number” of objects on display.

The tour was put together by the Gender and Sexuality Network, a group of staff and volunteers who say they are “committed to creating more visibility and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community in the Science Museum”.

The group also set up a trail around the museum called Seeing Things Queerly which runs across three floors and includes the Lego.

Also on display is a pair of Sebright bantam chickens, which helped Thomas Hunt Morgan win a Nobel Prize in 1933 for discovering the role played by chromosomes in heredity.

The exhibition, which has been running since 2022, says: “While a biological human female usually has XX sex chromosomes and a biological human male generally has XY, we now know there is diversity in the presence and combinations of sex-determining features, including variation in sex chromosomes.”

“Some people who have a difference of sex development identify as members of the intersex community. Sex and gender are often used interchangeably, but they mean different things.”

Also included is a Billy doll which it says “was made to help create positive visibility for the gay community and promote safe sex” and a sex-toy shaped item to highlight “the playful attitudes to sexuality” in the 18th century.

Sex Matters, a charity campaigning for sex-specific services, called the exhibition “ridiculous”.

Fiona McAnena, the director of campaigns at the charity told The Telegraph: “People expect to be informed, educated and inspired when visiting the Science Museum, not to have dubious claims rooted in gender ideology forced on them.”

A Science Museum spokesperson said: “This blog post was published online in 2022 to highlight a small number of objects on display at the museum that relate to LGBTQ+ individuals, experiences and communities.”

Lego was contacted for comment.

I swear this is NOT from the Babylon Bee! It never ceases to amaze how the perpetually offended can find transphobia, racism,islamophobia in places you'd least expect. Such a rare and unique talent 🤦🤦🤡🤡🤡

Snap a lady hair helmet on a dude with no schwanz and you have a lego tranny. These trannies have no imagination.

Honestly a lot of the real headlines of the day beat the Bee in absurdity. Bee actually is...the sane version of a reality that does not exist.

I’m fully in support of male and female Legos having separate bathrooms.

Just make a bunch of Lego boobs and wieners and let the consumer decide who wears them.

Did they notice the heterosexuality of computer coding?

No amount of protests, riots or USAID funding could ever make a 1 into a 0.

Sooner or later these people are going to have to face up to the low IQ in progressivism.

there is nothing more schizo than lego characters

I thought the genders were so cosmetic there they already were trans... but what do I know

It seems more like lego insults and relegates trans people to be plastic square schizo figures with little Differentiation and is why they go hysterical

pretty easy to take a construction worker’s head and put it on a body wearing a dress.

Nuts, bolts, pipe threads, hydraulic fittings... all must be redesigned.

How do we design a vaginal rocketship?
