How cool is this? Originally designed by Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton as an accessory for his desk, Everyone is Awesome is Lego’s first LGBTQIA+ set and we love it! Celebrating inclusivity and equality, Everyone is Awesome comprises ten minifigures with no specific gender in front of a colourful waterfall, mirroring the rainbow flag, with the addition of pale blue, white and pink for the trans community, and black and brown to acknowledge the diversity of skin tones and backgrounds within the LGBTQIA+ community. The eleventh purple minifigure, complete with beehive wig, is, says Ashton, ‘a clear nod to all the fabulous drag queens out there’. Released on 1 June, the set is £30.99. Truly awesome.
