Science Museum Faces Criticism Over Claims Lego Reinforces Gender Norms

  • A new exhibition at the Science Museum claims Lego is anti-LGBT because it promotes the idea that there are only two genders, stating that it enforces the mindset that heterosexuality is the norm.
  • The exhibit is part of the self-guided tour titled Stories of Queer Communities, Experiences and Identities, which aims to empower the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Critics, including Fiona McAnena from Sex Matters, label the museum's claim as 'absolute nonsense' and unscientific, arguing it distracts from the museum's purpose of educating visitors.
  • Lego has a positive history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights, including the release of the LGBTQ-themed set Everyone Is Awesome in 2021.
