Your membership supports queer artists and writers
Member dollars pay our queer and trans team to write, edit and publish everything you read on our site and in our magazine — deep-dives on the bisexual bob and the queer cheerleader trope, political explainers on alarming new policies, interviews with up-and-coming queer novelists, personal essays on identity, heartbreak and egg-freezing. Your dollars pay our designers, illustrators, photographers and creators, and the staff who organize our virtual and IRL events. Autostraddle was founded in 2009 and is the most popular independently owned website for queer women and trans people — your dollars ensure it keeps publishing vital work and that its archive remains accessible for the next person who needs it.

Questions
What is AF+?
AF+ is the Autostraddle print magazine subscription from For Them. In addition to the magazine, you get 30% off everything in the store, ad-free reading and access to paywalled content on Autostraddle.com.
What's the difference between quarterly and annual?
Both include every issue shipped to your door and every member perk. But annual is the best value at $8.17/mo ($98 a year), and annual subscribers snag a free Very Gay Sticker Pack. Quarterly is $28 every three months ($9.33/mo).
When will my first issue ship?
Issue 03, the sports issue, is shipping now. Join today and it is your first issue; after that you start with the next one. New issues arrive seasonally.
Do I get the back issues?
Back issues #00, #01 and #02 are sold separately, and members get them at 30% off. Join annual with all three and you get 7 issues: 4 in one box now, then one every quarter for a year.
What do I get member prices on?
Everything in the For Them store, including underwear, binders, hats, stickers and back issues. Your member price shows on the product page and at checkout.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage or cancel your membership anytime from your member portal.
Do you ship internationally?
Memberships only ship to US addresses for now. Because we cover postage on every issue after your first one, we're not able to offer that for international addresses just yet. Single issues are different: order one from anywhere and we'll ship it to you.
Can I gift AF+?
Yes. A gift year of AF+ is $98: every issue in the mail plus every member perk. Find “Give the Gift of Queer Media” in the shop.
How do I manage my membership?
Sign in at forthem.com or autostraddle.com and open the membership area in the top right. The Member Portal is where you update your details, change plan or cancel. Legacy member? Email team@forthem.com and we will sort it within 48 hours.
