Autostraddle: The Actual Website. [scroll to the end for an update about all the cool stuff we have planned for 40k and beyond!!] How We Got Here: Autostraddle.com launched in March of 2009. Along with co-founders Riese and Alex, six ambitious young women approached the project with enthusiasm and a common vision of a hilarious, intelligent and provocative voice and progressively feminist online community for lesbian, bisexual and otherwise-inclined women. Autostraddle has since evolved into the most popular independently-owned queer-lady website in the world, and the second most popular queer-lady website period and we wanna keep it that way! Staying independent means that YOU, the readers, are our bosses, rather than some corporation. We pride ourselves on being accessible to readers and receptive to their needs and requests. Web development, on the other hand, was and is more expensive than we could handle. The Little Website That Could Imagine a tiny house with six people inside.
