Home Alone for the Holigays: Celebrate Yule and Watch Brandy’s “Cinderella” with Meg

Yule this year is meant to be quiet, relaxing, comforting, and joyful. With so many new traditions beginning, and a few old favorites getting incorporated into this next chapter of my life, I feel full of hope in spite of the challenges this year has brought. Sending love and warmth to you and yours.

Be Part of Autostraddle’s 2019 Pride Gallery

This year’s Pride month is an extra special one because it’s the 50th anniversary of Stonewall — and, of course, because it’s as vital as ever for us to assemble and be visible and stand and shout together as we march through the streets declaring our presence and pleasure at being part of the LGBTQ+ community.

It's Straight People Day

Round up all your straights and let them know it’s time to put their money where their mouth is! Don’t know many (or any) straight people? You might be interested in our supporter wall where you can publicly contribute in honor of a straight person of your choice, even someone who’d be horrified to see their name on an LGBTQ site!
