Hey there my tired yet resilient queer friend. Here at Autostraddle, we’re planning something special for you this Pride Month. It’s about community, connection, sharing photos of our pets and plants with each other, meeting the other people who you are A+ members with, all in a digital still totally chill way. It’s the A+ Pop-Up Discord Server! Basically, we don’t keep a running member server, but we DO launch one every so often for a limited few days, and then, poof, after its time on this earth, it turns into a gay pumpkin and rolls away. Because of this, we recommend booking it to the A+ Discord when it’s up so you can meet folks before it disappears.

Not an A+ member? Your membership contribution helps to supports everything we do here, and frankly, we would love if you decided to join and support Autostraddle this Pride month. Autostraddle is 84% reader-supported and the rest of that number in 2021 was made up of ads and PPP loans, so A+ members are super super critical! If $4 / month isn’t affordable, that’s okay. Our members actually came up with the A+ Membership Pool where you can request a membership donation and get a free one-year A+ membership if you are someone who would benefit from being an A+ member but cannot afford it right now. It’s self-selecting, 100% on the honor system. If the fact that A+ members came up with this idea and pitched it to us isn’t evidence enough that you might be able to hang with some super cool people on the discord, then I don’t know what is!

We hope you’ll come! This is your save-the-date! Will we see you there? (Tell me in the comments if you’re coming!! Aahh!!)

The Details:

A+ Pride Pop-Up Discord Server!

Saturday June 11th starting at 9am PST through Monday June 13th at 8:30pm PST! Login info within this post below.

AND there will be a Gentleman Jack Season 2 Finale Watch-Along, hosted by none-other than the Heather Hogan!

What’s better than watching Anne Lister bully men, seduce women, and speed-walk around the globe in a waistcoat and top hat? Watching her do all that with your gay friends! That’s why we’re hosting a season two finale A+ Discord watch-along.

The Gentleman Jack Watch-Along will be on Monday, June 13th starting at 6pm PST, 9pm EST. More details (including drink and snack recommendations) to come! It will be ON the A+ Discord Server, so if you join our Pride server, you don’t need to do anything else other than show up at the appointed time.

How Do I Get In?

First, you need to be an A+ member, a supporter indie queer media. By becoming an A+ member, you keep your money gay this Pride and keep queer media here for other gays. Then, on that magical Saturday, this post will appear on the site, again, behind the paywall. At that time, scroll down to the bottom of this post for the link / join widget. Also, all A+ members can check the A+ e-newsletter on Saturday for an invite. You’ll need to make a Discord account if you don’t have one already.

What’s a Discord?

It’s like Slack or like a chatroom on steroids. It’s a text-based way for us all to chat with each other.

Here’s Where You Can Join
