Science Museum in London Says Legos Are “Anti-LGBT”

And Lego reinforces this because, well, the pieces only work one way and that leads to the pieces being described in “heteronormative” ways.

How are simple Lego bricks “anti-LGBT”? Well, to answer that question, you have to understand how these activists think. They look for oppression in anything that reinforces “heteronormativity.” What is that? It’s another way of describing the view that marriage for one man and one woman for life is what is natural and normal and that there is a gender binary: male and female. And Lego reinforces this because, well, the pieces only work one way and that leads to the pieces being described in “heteronormative” ways.

Apparently, the tour informs guests that:

Like other connectors and fasteners, Lego bricks are often described in a gendered way . . . The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating.

The truth is so simple that even Legos can illustrate it.

And this kind of language is supposedly offensive because it reinforces the gender binary and biblical sexuality and “illustrates how heteronormativity . . . shapes the way we speak about science, technology, and the world in general.” Yes, these activists hate anything that reinforces the truth that God made us male and female because they are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. They are described in Romans 1.

The truth is so simple that even Legos can illustrate it.

So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)
