“At a time when my life felt scattered and incomplete, the fantasy world of The Parent Trap, and the warm and maternal presence of Chessy, provided me with a dream of gluing the pieces of it together. The film, though not explicitly queer, still provides a sort of utopia of queer acceptance, connection and love. […] Some days I still think that maybe all I need is a hug from Lisa Ann Walter and I will be all right.” - Michael Elias (x)
