From Fox News: Britain’s Science Museum has argued that the way children’s Lego bricks fit together reinforces gender and sexuality stereotypes.
The Science Museum in the United Kingdom has recently made headlines for its self-guided tour that tells “stories of queer communities, experiences, and identities.” This “Seeing Things Queerly” tour at the museum claims that Legos push a “heteronormative” agenda.
“Like other connectors and fasteners, Lego bricks are often described in a gendered way,” the online blog for the self-guided tour says. “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 tour guide blog adds further, “This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics unrelated to gender, sex and reproduction. It illustrates how heteronormativity (the idea that heterosexuality and the male/female gender binary are the norm and everything that falls outside is unusual) shapes the way we speak about science, technology, and the world in general.”

Lego has made gender a focus of their building blocks multiple times in the past. In 2023, GOP Youth Advisory co-chair CJ Pearson called out the company on social media:

When I was a kid, which wasn’t too long ago, legos were just blocks.
It wasn’t trying to promote the idea that sexuality and gender were some type of spectrum.
This isn’t just sick; it’s flagrant grooming. pic.twitter.com/X9JTh0TIOL
