What subscribers are saying

"I cried. This zine isn't just something fun to look it. It is love, community, support, connection, pride, friendship, and so so much more. I cried when I first opened my package. Living in a tiny rural town in the foothills of Appalachia, there is not a lot of queer community. A magazine can not replace face to face human connection, but it sure can start to heal a little queers heart. This magazine means so much to me and I will cherish it forever."

Callie M. · Verified Buyer

"Got mine in the mail today — first purchase of queer media after coming out and must say I'm emotional."

Lydia T.

"Blown away. The design, the artwork, the content and writing — truly so good. As a reader you can see how much heart and soul went into it."

Frances A.

"Always love these Autostraddle zines. I like to get them as soon as they drop because it's such a conversation starter in my living room."
