The following report is from USA Today:
The Lego Group has unveiled “Everyone is Awesome,” its first LGBTQ-themed set, ahead of its launch during Pride Month.
The set, which hits the Lego online store June 1, includes 11 monochrome figures, each with its own hairstyle and rainbow color, according to a Wednesday statement.
The colors in the set are inspired by the rainbow flag, according to the statement.
The set also includes black and brown colors “to represent the broad diversity of everyone within the LGBTQIA+ community,” as well as pale blue, white and pink representing the transgender community, and a purple drag queen figure, according to a description of the set from designer Matthew Ashton.
Ashton, vice president of design for the Lego Group, said in a statement he wanted to create a model that symbolized inclusivity and celebrated everyone, “no matter how they identify or who they love.”
The starting point for this was my feeling that we, as a society, could be doing more to show support for each other and appreciate our differences. Being LGBTQIA+ myself, I knew I needed to step up to the plate and make a real statement about love and inclusivity.
Matthew Ashton
Joshua Gray, a 21-year-old from St. Louis, said Legos have had a “significant” role in his life. When he first heard about the new set, Gray, who is bisexual, said he felt immediate joy.
This set means a lot to me because it’s a company I’ve grown up with for over 18 years acknowledging their LGBTQ+ audience not just from a simple tweet or message, but an actual product.
I hope that this set can be used as a gift for queer relatives and friends to spread love and acceptance.
Joshua Gray
Ashton said growing up as a gay teen in the 1980s was “incredibly daunting and scary” because of rampant homophobia at the time. As a child, he said he was constantly told what toys he should play with or how to behave.
It was really exhausting and kicked my confidence.
So, I think by taking small steps and having products like ‘Everyone is Awesome’ out there…it allows everybody to see that things do get better over time and there is a place for everybody.
Matthew Ashton
Ashton wrote that if he had been given a set like this while growing up,
It would have been such a relief to know that somebody had my back. To know that I had somebody there to say ‘I love you, I believe in you. I’ll always be here for you.’
During his two decades at Lego, Ashton has developed multiple sets and was involved in executive production of “The Lego Movie.”
I was one of the lucky ones who was able to come out and had people there to support me. But there are so many that face so much discrimination, hate or violence. With this set I just want to make sure that we’re showing a bit of love and support to everybody who needs it.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1:26-27
[10] I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. [11] I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. [12] Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. [13] For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.Amos 4:10-13
Pride month was stymied last year due to the heavy Covid restrictions enacted by the draconian governors, mayors, and heath officials. While there were some rallies and some companies showing their support, it was completely overlooked as Covid and BLM-Antifa were the stars of the show last summer.
This year, with lockdowns ending, masking going away, and more and more getting vaccinated, buckle up for the “Roaring Sodomite 2021.” All the open sin and wickedness that has bottled up for a year (in this context), and now, the Sodomites are going to bust loose.
Also, I ignorantly was unaware that the sodomite acronym was updated yet again. For those the do not know, the ‘I’ stands for “Intersex,” and the ‘A’ stands for “asexual, agender, or ally.” And that is the thing: the sodomites do not need you to be a practicing sodomite as well, they just need you to accept them and be impartial and affirming.
A few weeks ago we noted a report that colleges across America were already holding Pride rallies and events. Now that the actual month is almost a week away, get ready for all-out chaos.
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
Proverbs 15:25
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:5

Disgusting wicked vile trash.
I haven’t played with Legos since I was 7 years old and even though I’m a man now and have long outgrown toys, I will never play with them again. You can expect massive destruction next month coming for the alphabet people, and God shall destroy antifa and BLM as well! BLM is highly anti Semitic so you can bet their destruction is not going to turn a blind eye on them.
Also, look up Bryan Denlinger’s exposing rant on the Lego brick bible, the creator is an atheist and he looks like a sodomite too.
That was the first video I ever saw of Bryan just a few days after I had gotten saved!
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
That verse is about the Two Witnesses who evangelize Jerusalem during the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. NO offense, but WHAT does it have to do with any of this? OR does it “sound good” to you like it matches the topic? Scripture isn’t used that way. it is to be PROPERLY interpreted, it is NOT a toy. Thank you.
[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: [19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation 22:18-19
Can someone still get saved if they commit verse 18 and/or 19?
The direct context is referring to someone in the time of Jacob’s trouble or even thereafter. So if someone commits that in that time period, they are going to be plagued and damned to hell. That being said, no saved person would go around physically manipulating the word of God. If they were to, expect some severe chastening from the Lord and probably to the point of death.
Thank you! Any chance you know of anyone who has done an expository study on the entirety of Proverbs?
