I want to give a BIG shoutout to everyone who participated in the merch conversation during our Discord event a few months ago! From those conversations we were inspired to turn the phrase “GAY CHAOS” from Surabhi into a pair of amazing socks and a gorgeous sticker. We also created The Lazy Femmes tee — which came out of a conversation about how queer merch kinda feels like band tees sometimes. And finally Snails, who tie-dyed their own Who All’s Gay Here tee, which inspired our very own tie-dyed version. Here are some of the conversations we had with you below:

surabhi: i love this gay chaos though
sarah: also another great shirt idea
sarah: riese you should do a list of fake bands that are really merch.

riese: my top 10 favorite band tees but they are all autostraddle merch
sarah: THE LAZY FEMMES
laneia: i just want to flag, in case anyone was thinking this was a bit just for the discord, that 40% of our usual conversations are very much "make this an article??!" so this really feels like an extension of our general channel in slack tonight WHICH IS TO SAY THAT I LOVE IT
