Backlash over 'transgender' LEGO sets leads to boycott calls

WASHINGTON (TND) — Makers of the classic build block toy LEGO are the latest to receive criticism and calls for boycotts after one popular social media account claimed the toymaker was "featuring transgender building sets for kids."

Before Pride Month last year, The LEGO Group announced its "A-Z of Awesome" campaign, which features "a colorful alphabet of identities built from LEGO bricks, created by our incredible LGBTQIA+ fans!"

Conservative British influencer Oli London apparently thought the campaign was selling the LGBTQIA+ sets, potentially to children. Sharing a video clip of the campaign on Twitter, London exclaimed: "LEGO turns TRANS!"

“Kept our Beanie Babies in case my kids wanted them”


I have a few of those as well. Unfortunately, none of them are the ones that pay top dollar.

My m-i-l tossed all my husband’s first edition comic books when he moved out. She could have just boxed them up and put them in a closet or even called him to come get them. Nope, she trashed them! Hubby swore he would never do that to his kids. Our attic is full of old toys, video games, baseball cards, Magic The Gathering cards, etc, that the grandkids can find when we are gone. Hopefully, there will be that one thing that brings in a million bucks for them. LOL!

I love how the box has the inscription “everyone is awesome”...yeah, unless you’re a conservative, then they want you dead.

I'm so old I pre-date Legos. I grew up with American Plastic Bricks. None of that Danish ersatz brick stuff for me!

We could build ranch houses or skyscrapers AND the windows opened!

When I got a bit older, I enjoyed building houses on the 027 railroad tracks and smashing my big, heavy Lionel locomotive, tender car and train into the houses. Bricks went EVERYWHERE! I was prescient for 2023 with train wrecks everywhere.

By God, I just realized LEGO is politically correct. Each block has both male and female connectors. LOL

But wait until they realize there are still binary gendered. :)

Same here. All my boys are grown, but I don’t give away a toy without their okay. All the LEGO sets are stored in bins.

They’ve tried to push a couple of Sodomite/racial sets (because what kid wasn’t clamoring for a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy apartment set ?!?), but they’ve ended up on the massive reduction sales heap.
