Happy Great To Be Gay Day, which is a holiday we invented at Autostraddle because Pride has been taken over by corporations and Spirit Day is already over and we miss it! We thought: why should we just celebrate being gay for .5% of the year when we could celebrate .8% of the year, yanno? On this momentous occasion we’d like to extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to all of you very beautiful, very generous, and very gay A+ Members. After being at Autostraddle for a little over a year and a half, it’s clear to me that big advertising dollars and campaigns do not often seek the niche independent sites like Autostraddle, which is to say–we are lucky to have you as an A+ Member. Really, truly lucky. And honored. We honestly would not be here if it weren’t for each and every one of you–so thank you.
Mushiness aside, we’re here to give you an exclusive A+ Member code for the Autostraddle Store. For the next five days everyone else will get 20% with the code GR82BGAY and you’ll get 25% off with the code GR82BGAYER, because supporting us automatically makes you super gayer than everyone else. AND! By purchasing anything in our store, whether it’s a $5 You Do You Sticker or a $48 Gal Pal Hoodie, every gaymo will get a free sticker of their choice, celebrating numero uno (THAT’S YOU Y’ALL!). We even have a blank sticker for those among you who cannot be contained into a specific label or category.

YOU’RE GAY HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT and I’ll know it even more when I see one of these stickers on your laptop at the coffee shop.
You guys, I did math for the first time in a really long time. I know it’s simple math, and I’m pretty sure I found “X” accurately, and I’m truly sorry about it if I made an error. I am not a mathematician, just a girl with a penchant for fig jam and a catchy melody. I tried to make it easy for you to see what things you could get with our discount below! I DID MATH! Oh my god you guys if you haven’t seen Carly Usdin and Robin Roemers Math Brain you need to go to YouTube right now and watch it.
Have any questions? Ask me below in the comments! I AM HERE TO SERVE YOU. I am like a Lush employee, but without the following you around and making you smell different face scrubs part.
Again, don’t forget to use the code GR82BGAYER at checkout for 25% off. Plus a FREE STICKER! Woo!

Y’all I’m so excited!!!! Any idea if the Gal Pal hoodie will be restocked in a large before the sale is over?? I could try an XL but I feel like L will fit best and obvi I wanna use this sweet deal!!
Hey Levi! The Gal Pal hoodie will not be restocked before the end of this week— most likely they’ll be back at the beginning of December!
Bummer! Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it! Are they pretty roomy? I do like big cozy hoodies, and it could shrink too…
I would classify these hoodies as more “fitted”, if anything! So maybe an XL will be the perfect fit of roomy/relaxed that you’re looking for!
Thank you!!! It’ll be miiine ❤️
❤️?????
oops my credit card slipped
this is wonderful! will the “read a fucking book” pins be back anytime soon? I’ve had mine for a while now but then TRAGICALLY LOST IT A COUPLE WEEKENDS AGO and would love to buy a new one. :)
You are in luck! We literally just restocked these fifteen minutes ago!

OH MY GOSH THIS JUST MADE MY MORNING!!! THANK YOU!
Y’all the Read A Fucking Book pin gets me more compliments from cuties than anything else on my denim jacket.
Yesssss! I just bought a shirt and a pin and I had been thinking about for ages.
Yay! What did you get??
You had me at free sticker. How can I resist?
And good for you for doing math, Sarah! I’m proud!
OH MAN affirmation is my love language thank you carmen san diego HAPPY GAY DAY!
Happy Wednes-Gay
Definitely just got myself some early birthday presents!!! I’ve debated forever on if I wanted the misandrist pin, but the last month has made it clear I do! Plus lots of stickers! They are sooo cute!!!
YAY! Thank you Jay!
gay jesus bless this website and all of you
can you make the triangle S like on the tank tops only on a grey beanie before the sale ends please?
:p
I was joking about “before the sale ends” but really I am legit surprised I can’t get an AS beanie. I’ve been looking for the right beanie for me all week and have been stifled by outrageous (55USD) international shipping and when I saw the sale I thought AUTOSTRADDLE WILL SURELY SAVE ME, QUEERS WILL HAVE GREAT BEANIES! but alas. not yet.
rad pins though.
hahaha rachel no but i wish we could make this happen for you i am so sorry! i wish i was a beanie wizard!
SECONDED I would wear one of these so hard!!!
Heeey, thanks for this! Buying the Safe Space sweatshirt plus a few other shirts and pins I’ve had my eye on for a while. I’m a little under a week away from my (30th !!! ) birthday, what a great time for a gift to myself! Waiting on the black Gal Pal sweatshirt to come back in stock like everyone else, but in the meantime, I’m getting the grey t-shirt!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Thank you for supporting us Meg!
“I am like a Lush employee, but without the following you around and making you smell different face scrubs part.”
Sarah, I cackled. I love you so dearly.
I LOVE YOU VANESSA!!!
Ahhh! I’m about to buy all the pins for my messenger bag. Peak homosity achieved.
I love being gay because being in this community reminds me that women are so so so beautiful. Like how can you even have a type when there are so many fabulous queermos roaming around.
YESS! what pins did you get? I will need to see photos.
I am certainly capable of buying my own, but the sticker drop down for the free-with-purchase doesn’t include queer, fyi!
Thanks for the heads up! Looks like we are almost out of them–I had our store manager move a couple over to the free sticker inventory for you!
We also just reordered more of them and they’ll be in store next week!
Thanks so much! Order placed!
I bought stuff even though I shouldn’t because I’m unemployed and broke….buuuuut I know merch helps you guys and I NEED AUTOSTRADDLE TO EXIST IN MY LIFE,
VICKY THANK YOU SO MUCH!! <3<3
Love this! I put in an order before I saw the “It’s Great to be Queer” sticker and ordered “It’s Great to be Bisexual” as a next best identifier. Any idea when the “It’s Great to be Queer” stickers will be back in stock?
They’ll be back next Saturday!
