Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Lego unveils first LGBTQ set ahead of Pride Month
Legos’s colorful interlocking plastic bricks are popular around the world. They consist of bricks, gears, minifigures, and various others parts. Their business soared last year because of the pandemic as people spent more time at home. Starting from June, a new set of products will be added under the LGBTQ theme, called “Everyone is Awesome,” to celebrate Pride Month. It is when the world’s LGBT communities come together and celebrate the freedom to be themselves. There will be 11 rainbow-colored figures in the 346-piece set, which is intended to include and celebrate everyone regardless of their identity of themselves and their lovers. If children grow up with such gender-neutral toys and talk and work naturally with their family members, they will have less or no prejudice or bias against LGBTQ people. In fact, other toy makers like Mattel are also introducing gender-inclusive toys. Toys are indeed an influential tool to develop children’s mindsets. It might be getting more important to have children play with toys before they start indulging in smartphones.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this recent move by a toy giant.
