Lego is anti-LGBT and only promotes two genders, Science Museum tour states
https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/lego-is-anti-lgbt-and-only-promotes-two-genders-science-museum-tour-states/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIWdnFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVZEX9PoBjQV8cXeV6OXapss884rZnn5JNKC8IPzednlZbJM_YBSU9Atfg_aem_BVrVMx1eyi7wXt4dAAulOw

Lego is anti-LGBT and promotes the idea that there are only two genders, according to claims made at a new exhibition at the Science Museum.

The self-guided tour at the museum, Stories of Queer Communities, Experiences and Identities, suggest that Lego bricks enforce the idea that heterosexuality is the ‘norm’.

One sign says: “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 is ’heteronormative,’ the exhibition claims.

The museum has not commented.
