The Stonewall National Monument could become an official Lego set, if one artist’s project succeeds. While it won’t make up for the shameful distortion of the monument’s history by the current U.S. government, it would be a joyful reminder of the heritage and importance of this LGBTQIA+ landmark.
Here’s the latest in my occasional series about Lois and Lily, two Lego lesbians, and their little lad. In today’s post, they share a photo from their summer cruise.
I’d like to introduce you to Lois and Lily, two adventure-loving lesbian moms—who also happen to be Lego Minifigs. If only this were a real Lego play set.
