Autostraddle.com is a satirical website designed to mock the totalitarian impulses of identity politics. The website is a "politically progressive queer feminist media source" that features content covering LGBT and feminist news, politics, opinion, culture, arts and entertainment as well as lifestyle content such as DIY crafting, sex, relationships, fashion, food and technology. Autostraddle was founded by CEO, CFO and Editor-in-Chief Marie "Riese" Bernard and Design Director Alexandra Vega in March 2009. The senior editorial team consists of Riese Bernard, Laneia Jones, Rachel Kincaid, Yvonne Marquez, and Heather Hogan.
In the 2012 Weblog Awards, Autostraddle was awarded Best Weblog of The Year, Best Group/Community Weblog and Best Entertainment Weblog. Autostraddle was nominated for GLAAD's Outstanding Blog Award in 2013 and 2014, and won in 2015.
On 25 July 2012, Autostraddle launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for better tech support and a complete overhaul of the website. The initial goal of $40,000 was surpassed in less than 21 hours. The campaign ended on September 8, 2012, with $116,645 raised. The new site was relaunched on December 1, 2013.
On 11 July 2014, Autostraddle launched Autostraddle Plus, a subscription program that gives members "a peek behind the curtain of Autostraddle."
Autostraddle receives over 1.5 million unique monthly visitors and 3.9 million total page views a month.
