Furthermore, my work-place does a good bit of work with secondary school children, teaching them about history, and going by the fact that none of them seem to know how to construct and send emails correctly (something that pretty much everyone needs to know in adulthood and when you enter the workplace), it seems that actual important life skills aren't been taught ahead of this PC nonsense.

Lol, it doesn’t impact you in anyway.

I mean this is a really good point

LGBT people exist everywhere, though. Would you want parents to avert their children's eyes from a gay couple holding hands in public?

Islamic lego will be next.

Build a minaret, push the lgbt lego man off it.

Little lego bush for the Jew to hide behind in the final days.

How about a Christian-themed lego set featuring the Phelps family picketing a funeral?

Meh, corporate giant hopping on a bandwagon.

The vaccine rollout in Ireland is great.
The health bosses made the right call doing it the way they did without giving into pressure from some groups like teachers.
I'm happy to wait my turn in an age based system.

Clearly gay people should be hidden in basements and never spoken of.

I think it might just be a special addition that people are under no obligation to buy. Not worth getting outraged about.

While i don't have to buy it , my kids love lego and may want it.
so it's not as simple as you make it out. But i think you knew that.

It's not the same thing and you know it . a stupid argument.
anyway it's not even about gays it has the pronoun nonsense in it too which means its selling the wider alphabet soup progressive leftie sh1te.

that's not the case.
It clearly an agenda aimed at kids, a soft propaganda into the whole world of LGBT (which gay people are only a subset and not even a vocal one) , instead of letting them just ..well ..play lego like kids.

Why the push for sexuality on kids? it's all the LGBT sexuality too - I don't see any western style family concept push ever...why is that?
most certainly doesn't have any other agenda.

Possibly not an unpopular opinion, but this post epitomizes much of the reasoning prevalent on Boards.

Always jump to the extreme when it suits your argument. Disregard any nuance or shades of grey.

Have I missed something re. the Lego set?

Is it not just a lot of differently coloured Lego figures with matching coloured blocks?

No sexual connotations at all?

What possible damage could that do to a child?

It might turn them gay apparently which is the worst thing a person can be according to some.

I looked at some pictures of the Lego set for five minutes the other day and started fantasising about having a tongue sandwich with Liberace. I reckon if I'd spent even a couple of minutes more looking at those pictures, I'd be down behind the public toilets in Grafton Street sucking dick for money right now! It's a slippery slope.

Top tip:
When performing fellatio, always remember to clear the lego (gay or straight) from the floor first, in order to protect the knees.

Hope you remembered to declare your pronouns before fornicating, you wouldn't want any misunderstandings lest there was uncomfortableness once the passion dissipated

Without even getting into teaching kids how to talk about their genitals in case someone touches them and they need to be able to talk about it, to teaching kids from an early age about universal kindness, self-esteem and sex positivity, etc. - did you not notice the set was Ages 18+? LEGO isn't pushing this set on kids.

Noble sentiments (geniunely) but that can be thought with exposure to sexualities. the kindness and self esteem is important and let them grow into their sexuality. They can get hit with that in their teens - although I have doubts about the LGBT message being taught to teens at school.
I'll address this in my next unpopular opinion - so hold off on the rant just yet.

I'm gonna admit, you got me. cos i did not notice.
But lego is ageless, certainly in my house we wouldn't look at the age on lego

our hero in this article does'nt say its aim at 18+
but mentions plenty about childhood , children and classmate.
not so over 18 and he designed it.

as per above.

I think that gay people are being done a disservice being associated with the LGBT lobby and it's weird and wonderful alphabet mess.

when i say gay people , I mean the regular gay people you meet at work not the celebrity virtual signally type or people making political capital out of it.

Oh I get you, but with it being coded 18+ LEGO corp is not going to be marketing it to kids, in their inventory it will be coded differently; and if online shoppers filter by age they'll never see it. If it shows up next to junior sets on a shelf I'd say that would be worth someone's rant.

No one is pushing sexuality on kids, anymore than seeing heterosexual couples is pushing sexuality on kids.

The point here is to normalise different sexualities so kids don’t grow up confused about their own feelings. There is absolutely nothing wrong with telling kids that being LGBT+ is normal. Because it is.
