Lego has a new rainbow colored set to celebrate Pride month

"Everyone is unique, and with a little more love, acceptance and understanding in the world, we can all feel more free to be our true awesome selves," set designer Matthew Ashton said.

Lego is getting into the spirit of Pride this year by launching its first-ever LGTBQ+ set. Called “Everyone is Awesome,” the set is inspired by the rainbow flag and includes 11 figures, each one a different color and sporting its own hairstyle.

The set goes on sale starting June 1 to mark the beginning of Pride Month.

The official Lego Twitter page shared the news, writing, “We’re super excited to reveal our new set — LEGO Everyone is Awesome! Because we celebrate every LEGO builder.”

In a statement, set designer Matthew Ashton, vice president of design at Lego, said he wanted to create a model that symbolizes inclusivity and “celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who they love.”

“Everyone is unique, and with a little more love, acceptance and understanding in the world, we can all feel more free to be our true awesome selves,” he said. “This model shows that we care, and that we truly believe ‘Everyone is awesome.'”

Ashton added that the Lego set was also a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, both within the Lego Group and its adult fan base.

On Twitter, Lego confirmed that the company has committed to supporting a number of organizations on an ongoing basis, including the U.K. charity Diversity Role Models, which helps children learn about empathy.

Many Lego fans welcomed the new set on Twitter.

“Representation matters,” wrote Twitter user @sassafrass582. “I’ve got two LGBTQ teenagers. We shall be buying a couple sets.”

The “Everyone is Awesome” Lego set is available from June 1 on Lego.com and in Lego stores for $34.99.

American Girl is another toy brand offering LGBTQ+ representation this year with Kira, the company’s “2021 Girl of the Year.” Kira is a 10-year-old from Michigan committed to conservation action, and her book, “Kira Down Under,” features an LGBTQ+ storyline.
