Have you seen Molly’s Girl? It is one of the many LGBT films Netfilx are featuring under the gay and lesbian genre section. Molly who is played by Kristina Valada-Viars, is a “misfit” who engages in a one night stand with a lesbian LGBTQ activist named Mercedes (played by Emily Schweitz) .
The film takes a surprising turn when Mercedes learns that Molly’s father is the State Senator who also happens to be a homophobe. Mercedes sees this as an opportunity to get to know Senator Tom Cranston and change his mind about gay marriage.
Synopsis
Molly, an emotional misfit, believes she’s found love in a drunken one-night stand with a lesbian /gay marriage activist named Mercedes who has just broken it off with her fiancée…
Once sober, Mercedes discovers she cannot escape the clingy and desperate Molly. As she’s about to call upon all of her legal options to rid herself of Molly, Mercedes learns that Molly’s father is actually an influential state senator opposed to gay marriage.
Seeing this as a golden opportunity to drive a stake into the senator’s politics, Mercedes convinces Molly (who turns out, after all, to be straight) to get her parents’ attention by pretending that they are an engaged lesbian couple. Mercedes poses as “Molly’s girl”.
But, as she gets to know Molly’s family (and especially her controlling mother, Ginger) Mercedes begins to understand who Molly really is and why they surprisingly have so much in common.
This movie is a definite must watch. You can check it out on Netflix.
