Autostraddle is one of the most widely read and longest-running independent LGBTQ+ publications in the world. Founded in 2009, it is run by and for queer women, nonbinary, and trans people, and has built a massive community of readers who turn to it for news, culture, personal essays, relationship advice, and conversations that feel like they were written by someone who actually gets it.

The site covers everything from sexuality and gender to pop culture, politics, health, and relationships, with a voice that is smart, funny, and genuinely community-rooted. Autostraddle has long championed queer women and nonbinary people who are often sidelined even within LGBTQ+ media, and its comment sections and reader community are part of what make it distinct.

It has faced financial challenges over the years and has been transparent with readers about those struggles, which has deepened the loyalty of its community. For queer women, nonbinary people, and trans readers looking for media that was built for them rather than about them, Autostraddle remains one of the most important independent voices in LGBTQ+ publishing.
