  • The London Science Museum has received backlash for a recent development to an exhibit displayed that attempts to reinforce the idea that Lego bricks can be gendered, upholding heterosexuality as a societal norm.

The Science Museum in London has faced criticism for a warning label on its "Lego Brick History" exhibit, which suggests that Lego bricks have an "anti-LGBT bias." The label, part of an effort to highlight inclusivity, has been described as "ridiculous" by some visitors and commentators. The exhibit, which showcases the history of Lego, includes a note stating that Lego has been criticized for not representing diverse family structures, particularly those with same-sex parents, until recently. Critics argue that this warning is an overreach, suggesting that Lego, a toy known for its universal appeal and creativity, should not be politicized or labeled with biases. The backlash reflects broader debates about how cultural institutions address contemporary social issues in their displays.
