Lego unveils first LGBTQ set ahead of Pride Month
Lego fans can build castles, jungles and entire town centers with the right set of bricks. But from June, the company will launch a brand new product -- its first ever LGBTQ-themed set, named "Everyone Is Awesome."
The product comes with 11 figures, each with an assigned rainbow color.

- lol those look ridiculoussted
- I think those are pretty cool! It'd even cooler if they had cool mythological creature add-ons, like unicorn horns, wings, etc. I'm really not ...MondoMorphic
- ...kidding either. I think they could sell a shit ton of these to a lot of different people.MondoMorphic
- So, some solid flat color figures. No faces, hair color or clothing. Whatever. I don’t see kids wanting this. More of a woke douche thing.monospaced
- So gay!mort_

- It's absolutely a woke douche thing, mono. lolMondoMorphic
- plz link to the onion article thxcherub
- wtf?!? not lego!renderedred

- why not, looks kinda kool.. the reps are losing their shit i guessneverscared
- Not going to lie, I thought this was fucking cool when I saw it in the papers this morning and resolved to buy one.Nairn
- lol mortGuyFawkes
- will be worth a lot in a few yearssandpipe
- Terrible idea. It implies that prior "normal" lego sets were heterosexual or cisgender which is untrue and STUPID.nb
- Corporations are really bad at equality, diversity and progressivism. They should stfu, they're not helping anythingnb
- I am 100% in support of LGBTQ2S+ people. But this is just a bad idea that doesn't teach equality at allnb
- Nairn is woke.monospaced
- Totally agree nb! lolMondoMorphic
- Presuming everyone has arms and legs. what about midgets, wheel chair uses, etc..shapesalad
- @nb yeah. 0 effort products. they are all butt naked goddammit.sted
- I'm with Nairn. I like this.Continuity
- the brown one has an afro, the black one has a weave, the yellow one has a bowl cut. just sayin'_niko
- Apple?utopian
- Although I appreciate getting black hair right, it was on the nose to choose black and brown for those characters.shellie
- As a black child I remember the black and brown options feeling dark, ugly, and unattractive. There's not an implied asian figure that's yellow.shellie
- technic lego circa late 80's was best time for lego. Built on the moto of toys for learning, not learning to kill. nowadays it's all so aggressive.shapesalad
- Why can't the POCs be colorful, too?shellie
- most kids are just going to see this as a colourful bunch bricks and figures. and get either creative making something or bored due to the lack of exotic piecesshapesalad
- yeah shellie, my point exactly, so dumb. The brown and black feel tacked on for some kind of racial inclusion, which has nothing to do with LGBTQ_niko
- ideally each character would come in each colour._niko
- they should have had a clear one for the non-conformiing meta-poly-neutral exclusionist.SteveJobs
- Of course the straights are complaining about how it affects them and lecturing how the LGBTQ community should treat this.face_melter
- Everyone is Awesome? Really? https://www.youtube.…
Beyond parody when you parody yourself I guess.NonEntity - One can support a community or cause and disagree with its approach to advocacy at the same time, no?SteveJobs
- Maybe targeting emotionally retarded 20s/30s demographic. Actual kids got no fucks to give like shapesalad saidNonEntity
- What will they think of next?
Selling advent calendars for Christmas?palimpsest - also who's this for? kids? here ya go johnny, i know you wanted that space set, timmy next door is getting for christmas but we need you to be more woke.SteveJobs
- So this isn't an onion article?cherub
- stop this planet I wanna get offcherub
- What a fucking piece of unicorn diarrhea. No faces? FUCK OFF, CUNTS. Fuck Lego.babydick
- Johnny was really looking forward to getting that Lego Bonsai Tree. His heart will be broken.palimpsest
- Also, Lego Bonsai trees are cultural appropriation.palimpsest
- As a dad tasked with making figures for battle, I am always trying to figure out how to make a faceless assassin... these are very great for that reason alone.wordssssss
- They have nor penis or vadgei_was
- when u achieve maxiumum wokeness, u don't need penis or vadge.cherub
- I like how you can decide the priority of the various colours. At the mo it's black out front and pink behind, but fuck if I'd not have my gingermensch up frontNairn
- Also, I'd take the black figs legs and bits.Nairn
- Give violet the ginger fig's trousers and just have her entire existence fretting about the incongruence of her being, irrespective of the hopes of inclusivity.Nairn
- I know they meant well, but actually, this is just some kind of perverse hell.
I'm buying three.Nairn - For the record - I've had a bit to drink since my initial earnest post earlier today and these last few. Also earnest.Nairn
- whoever said "Of course the straights r complaining" I'm blk+gay-ish supporting LGBTQ POCs I have a perspective on the bok+brwn figs. I don't love the executionshellie
- gay "ish" ?Khurram
- I think these look cool. Get off your high-horse shellie. You ain't the voice of minorities round here. "As a blk+gay+ish-ally let me say something bla bla bKhurram
- I don't believe corporation can be genuine about these things. Looks cool, cool collection. gonna make lots of money.pango
- black and brown are colours in the rainbow?autoflavour
- the B in LGBTQ stands for black and or brown.pango
- Duhpango
- A lot of you is not using the updated acronym, LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP. Bigots.jagara
- My apology :(pango
- Gay-ish? Fuck off, shellie.babydick
- What's wrong with gay-ish, captain judgy-pants?mort_
- Explain what gay-ish means, mort_babydick
- I'm cuck-ish, by the waybabydick
- swing the other way sometimes but not all the time?pango
- hi cuck-ishpango
- @babydick Not sure tbh. Maybe it's something you can't neatly categorize in your mind? Maybe sexuality is a spectrum? Maybe STFU?mort_
- Gay fish? ...Kanye?NonEntity
- Sucking dick from time to time ain't gay, it's just gay-ish. Because life is a South Park episode. Fuck off, mort.babydick
- Gayish is when you want to be gay, but don't want to be gay.
RIP Paul Mooneypalimpsest - this is a cool set. stop complaining about everything. you can do great combinations mix matching them all. why is this supposed to be wrong?ESKEMA
- it's fucking plastic toys, nothing else.ESKEMA
- there you go Shellie. straights are complaining.pango
- perspective != high horse. everyone is entitled to their opinionSteveJobs
- i hate wokeness and all that douchery but i really like this. probably not its raison d'etre, but the end result is fab.hans_glib
- @ESKEMA i never cared about the gender or sexual orientation of the lego figures, it was always what I wanted at the moment...sted
- This makes you care, discuss, argue and all that shit what Lego isn't about for me.sted
- No one's making you do anything sted. Relaxe your body.Khurram
- @Khurram To think about it this way, deal with such aspects. I wouldn't act on it.
Yeah my body is in the need for some relaxation :Dsted - Ya Sted. Relax and get your body ready!
