In response to the Cut’s request for comment on its decision to reanimate and celebrate Molly McIntire just in time for Pride month, the American Girl brand responded, “The new Molly collection releasing today is simply aligned with when all of our new summer product is debuting. While I personally was a Felicity girl (I enjoy the word petticoat and brass candleholders), I am happy to recognize Molly as my chosen family. Normally I find it annoying when a random and very common trait such as liking iced coffee or being bad at driving is described as “gay,” but one must admit the evidence collected here is overwhelming in light of the doll brand’s announcement. She’s a skilled athlete, loves a good argyle sweater, and has bad eyesight. She’s bad at math (hmmm), hates her straight hair ( hmmm), and has a fixation on her teacher Miss Campbell (HMMM). Molly Jean McIntire (an extremely gay name) was born on Ap(a Taurus), though she remains 10 years old.
I think the meaning here is obvious: Molly is gay. On Jthe start of Pride Month - the American Girl brand announced, via Instagram, that it was rereleasing the classic Molly doll (while supplies last) with an interestingly worded caption: “To all the Molly girls in the world: We see you.
