Everyone Is Awesome

Everyone is Awesome is a Lego set released in 2021. The Lego product is the first designed to represent the LGBTQIA+ community. It was designed by Matthew Ashton and is themed to represent a pride flag and transgender pride flag, and black and brown colors to represent LGBT people of color.

Attributes
The set has 346 pieces. It comes with 11 minifigures in colors representing pride flags. Six represent colors of the rainbow pride flag (Gilbert Baker's 1978 "classic" flag with red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, and purple), while three (in pale blue, white, and pink) represent the transgender pride flag, and two (in black and brown) represent the diversity of races, ethnicities, and backgrounds within the queer community. None of the eleven figures have specified genders, except for the purple minifigure, meant to represent a drag queen, with a "highly stylized beehive wig". The Lego set measures about ; it is designed with a base and back wall, to fit on a shelf or windowsill. The set name is inspired by "Everything Is Awesome", a song from The Lego Movie, a feature film released in 2014. The set designer, Matthew Ashton, was an executive producer for the film. ==History==
History
The Lego Company has a short history of representing the LGBT community in sets. A build of Trafalgar Square, released in 2019, includes a tiny rainbow flag, while sets of bride and groom figurines in the BrickHeadz line were sold separately, allowing fans to purchase two brides or two grooms if they choose to. The set was designed by vice president of design Matthew Ashton, initially for his own desk. The set was released June 1, 2021, in time for LGBT Pride Month for many. In releasing the set, the Lego Company highlighted its employee diversity and efforts towards inclusion, as well as partnerships with LGBT organizations including Stonewall. ==See also==
