“I wanted to create a model that symbolizes inclusivity and celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who they love,” says set designer Matthew Ashton, vice president, design at The LEGO Group. “Everyone is unique, and with a little more love, acceptance, and understanding in the world, we can all feel freer to be our true awesome selves! This model shows that we care and that we truly believe ‘everyone is awesome’!”

The set will launch on June 1 at LEGO Stores and on lego.com.
