Everyone Is Awesome: Lego to launch first LGBTQ+ set

My thoughts on the whole LGBTQ thing is that do not have a problem with it. The only thing that seems harmful is people whom might be extreme with their views. It is also something they have to deal with themselves, on the individuals own views.

That goes with any person who is forcing their ideas, along with their worldview and standpoint. Say a parent who does end up partaking in messed up activities with ones own daughter, or own son. Whether the parent is Male or Female. Anyone in a abusive home with child abuse going is my only problem such as even hand cuffing kids to their beds and only letting them shower once a month. I do not support or condone those things personally myself.

Have heard a story about 13 children ranging from 8-28 who were all abused, made to conform and obey their parents and if they disobeyed they would be punished, One time one of the children escaped and was dumbfounded by the outside. Eventually finally getting a telephone; got in contact with emergency services. When they Emergency personal on the line; asked the girl on the phone if the kids in the house took medications; And did not even understand what medication was. They were so uneducated because of the abuse and what they went through. They all got relocated and still meet up together during the year.
Yes child abuse is something I think any sane person, regardless of political affiliation, gender identity, sexual orientation etc can agree is horrific and should not happen.
My father broke the cycle of abuse. He was rough as guts but a good natured guy.
From the time I was able to speak, he absolutely drilled it into my head to immediately leave any man who so much as raised his voice to me. At the time I just shrugged it off as him being overprotective. But in hindsight there was a lot of trauma in his messages of avoiding abuse in relationships. Like it absolutely horrified him to think of a man hitting a woman or worse a child. To him a “real man” would never put his hands on a woman. And he grew up in a time where domestic abuse was not only common but practically normalised.

Never got into Legos but I'm glad people have this as a collectible if they want it. I know this is made for adults but I wouldn't care if it was made for kids.
If you're someone who passes by without issue children's shows and toys with boyfriends and girlfriends, husband's and wives...but then you gasp and pearl clutch over kids seeing two girlfriends or two husbands then you are part of the problem.

A wedding is the social norm before reproduction. Which requires sex. It's about a romantic relationship. That tends to involve sex. It's there, it always been, people just ignore and overlook it (it would be obsessive to constantly draw that this far out though, but it is there nevertheless). Except when it comes to gays, then they won't overlook it, the consciously go that far with it, and it is obsessive.
The sex part is there. We are sexual beings. We shouldn't deny it (such as saying something dealing with marriage isn't related to sex), but we shouldn't obsess over it. Normalizing brings acceptance. A Lego wedding cake with a variety of Lego people genders does a lot to normalize, more than keeping us in a separate amd marketable demograph. One shows us as normal, regular people participating in normal, regular things. The other shows us as other.

I remember years ago when I was in elementary school. I was too young and wasn't raised to think I was "black" or african american. Though, when I was outside playing with my white friend (blond hair, blue eyes, and all), she pulled out her cabbage patch dolls:

I took the white one and she pulled it back and said, "no. no. this (black) doll is for you" and shoved the black doll at me. I didn't know there was anything wrong at the time but I was upset.

I can't imagine even more years down the line and they have these two same dolls as collectors items. Then people would say, "they're just toys." But people who gone through a lot would probably not consider that as such.

A harsh comparison with the PRIDE colors, but I think because it's a toy (and 'because' its a toy) it sends a bigger message than mixed color gender identity for acceptance of diversity. There's marketing involved and also a means to say "we like you so we will 'make you special'" type of thing. Kind of like the barbie doll I saw awhile back with a wheelchair. That got a lot of opinions out of people (I think it was posted on RF years ago, if I'm not mistaken).

Anyway. The idea is they send mixed messages that's why it's off not specific because it's for LGBTQ and people would be accepting.

I hated Barbies as a kid. I started collecting though, in my early 30s, when I found a chubby one with blue hair. I found the Fashionistas line, and just fell in love with them. They looked like me and the friends I had growing up. They had different heights, different weights, different hair colors, different features, different races and skin tones. I've got over 100 of them displayed on my walls now, and I have two in wheelchairs, and one with a prosthetic leg, and even one with vitiligo. If I had had these available as a kid, maybe I'd have felt more comfortable playing with them than the pencil thin blondes.

Heh...you should talk to my kids. You'd be pretty surprised.

Well...not by the baby. She's just gonna drool and gurgle, as you'd expect. But you could get a pretty mature and interesting conversation from the 10 or 12 year old.
And yet all the high school boys I knew were about as mature as a toddler. Go figure lol

I recommend reading the article, it's not very long. But you get to hear from the designer of the set:



I love this set and I will be buying myself one. I have been a Lego fan since I was a kid and I will have no issue adding this set to my collection!

Finally! 45+ years late. Now I'm just old enough to step on them and scream like every other adult.
 
All of these takes are so bad, who knew RF had so many people that could be triggered by Legos.

Personally I'm disgusted by this. It really does show that the modern world is deeply sinful and is beyond redemption. God needs to make another flood then start from scratch with an elect few. I don't want to live in a world where people are free to unashamedly display such insanity.

Everyone knows that Lego is an uncountable noun and thus cannot be pluralised to "Legos" which is a nonsense term only favoured by degenerates :rage:

It's like some people do not know what LGBTQ is.

It's literally about one's sexual preferences. How is that not associated with sex? It has everything to do with sex and whether this is an adult toy or not, the point is that such discussions about sexuality are not appropriate for children. Just like we don't talk to children about BDSM. It's not that anyone's 'squirmish' or that it has anything to do with dislike of LGBTQ stuff.

You have to get to kids when they are young to control them when they are older.
Just ask anyone who isn't religious or is against religion. They always claim religion brain washes kids.

And to be clear, I'm not religious and Im not against religion. I'm a let people live their life kind of person.

I say....

Something wrong with that guy though tbf. Police turn up in your street and you don’t rubberneck? He’s hiding something.

Probably buried his wife under that lawn.

This isn't really a response though. I think the LGBTQ stuff has gone way too far and we need to give it a break. I grew up knowing I'm a bisexual and didn't need this kind of stuff. It's just rank virtue signalling. Not everything needs to be part of the current political nonsense.

I was able to explain to my nephew what gay/bi was without discussing sex at all. :shrug:
He was like 5 at the time.
Hell I remember learning about it in health class before we tackled sex Ed. Mostly my exposure was through movies and TV though, if I’m honest
Even books. I remember the Harry Potter fandom assumed Dumbledore was gay. I think because he always dressed flamboyantly, I dunno

I think this is ridiculous and inane. It's also a kid's toy and should not be having anything to do with sex.

And yet children are indoctrinated with religion from popping out of womb..
