Snohomish-based docuseries to confront anti-LGBTQ laws across US
SNOHOMISH — Five Snohomish moms and two 24-year-olds will set out on a road trip this week. Their goal? To figure out what motivates lawmakers to support anti-LGBTQ legislation.
And they’re filming the two-week journey. Episode one of their new docuseries “The Queer Agenda: A Great American Road Trip” starts in Snohomish, including an interview with local TikTok influencer and trans advocate Ve Mitchell.
Almost a decade ago the moms, known as the Society of Lucky Mothers, led forums in neighbors’ homes to talk about how to support kids who have come out as gay, as well as discussing the state’s bathroom bill. The law gave transgender people access to bathrooms, locker rooms or dressing rooms aligning with their gender identity.
Docuseries co-directors Drake Wilson and Lily Stephens Barnsby graduated from Snohomish High School in 2016. Wilson’s mother drives around with an “I love my gay son” sticker on her car. Stephens Barnsby is bisexual. While the directors were in school, they saw gay marriage legalized and state bills expanding LGBTQ students’ rights.
