Supportive community is where we get to practice telling the truth.
Where “I’m fine” can become: “I need support,” “I’m overwhelmed,” “I’m human.”
And instead of rejection, you’re met with care.
Because here, you don’t have to carry it all alone. 💜

Audiences are fun for concerts. But they don’t build community.
Community is alive when you participate: when you bring your energy, your presence, your creativity into the mix. That’s what makes our spaces safer, braver, and more alive.

Our Munch is back—and it’s bringing gyros and STI testing too.
Join us for a low-pressure, high-vibe night of queer connection, grilled meats, mutual aid, and actual community care. No scenes, no dress code, no weird power dynamics, just folks showing up to connect and build something better.

The Autonomy Project started in a single room, with a handful of queer folks and a dream.
Now we’ve hosted hundreds of events, welcomed thousands of people, and built a space where showing up as your full self is the standard, not the exception.
Thanks for building it with us.

Juneteenth isn’t just a day on the calendar. It’s a checkpoint in a struggle that never really paused.
Freedom didn’t land all at once. Not in 1865, and not now. It came in fragments. With loopholes. With conditions. And for Black queer and trans folks, it’s still showing up in pieces (if at all).

We had such an amazing Pride with you all, but we unfortunately have to report that most of our photo booth props have gone missing.
Namely, over $150 worth of clack fans! These were the most popular props for photos. Can you help us replace them?
