    188. Steven Simpson - Burned Alive By Party Crashers At his Own Birthday Party

    A birthday celebration. A vulnerable young man. And a night of cruelty that would leave a community demanding answers. When Steven Simpson turned eighteen, he had every reason to celebrate. Openly gay, living independently despite autism, epilepsy, and other challenges, Steven had worked hard to build a life on his own terms. But what began as a gathering of friends in his South Yorkshire flat quickly spiraled into something far darker. As the night unfolded, humiliation, bullying, and violence blurred the line between a cruel joke and a devastating tragedy. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we examine a case that shocked the United Kingdom, sparked outrage among disability and LGBTQ+ advocates, and raised difficult questions about hate crimes, justice, and the way vulnerable people are treated by society. More than a gay murder case, Steven's story remains a haunting reminder of how prejudice and indifference can have fatal consequences. Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.

    187. Gay Love, Betrayal, Murder, Scandal And The Bible The Legacy of King James I Part 2

    A king haunted by controversy. A court drowning in secrets. And a murder so scandalous it helped poison the English crown itself. Long before the King James Bible shaped the English speaking world, King James I was navigating a palace fueled by forbidden desire, ruthless ambition, and deadly political games. James grew up isolated, abused, and desperate for affection. As an adult, he openly surrounded himself with powerful male favorites in a country where accusations of same-sex intimacy could lead to execution under the Buggery Act. But when his handsome favorite Robert Carr became entangled with the ambitious Howard family and the brilliant, fiercely devoted Thomas Overbury, the royal court spiraled toward one of the most infamous murder conspiracies in queer history. What followed was a chilling saga of obsession, betrayal, poison, political coverups, and public humiliation inside the Tower of London. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we unravel the horrifying murder of Thomas Overbury, the explosive scandal surrounding King James I’s inner circle, and the deadly consequences of living queer lives inside Jacobean England’s brutal system of power. From secret relationships and ecclesiastical courts to torture, executions, and royal corruption, this is true crime with a queer perspective at its darkest and most devastating. Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand. Hosted on Acast.

    186. Gay Love, Betrayal, Murder, Scandal And The Bible: The Legacy of King James I Part 1

    A poisoned enema. A shadow king. And a royal court where desire could be just as deadly as treason. What began as King James I’s obsession with beautiful young men would spiral into one of the most dangerous and scandalous power struggles in queer history. In this episode of Beers With Queers, Jordi and Brad dive deep into the dark and twisted world of the Jacobean court, where political ambition, forbidden same-sex relationships, and ruthless betrayal collided beneath the gilded halls of Whitehall Palace. Long before the King James Bible became the most widely printed book in human history, King James himself was navigating a violent world shaped by trauma, paranoia, and intensely public relationships with powerful male favorites. From the brutal murder of his father and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, to the rise of Robert Carr and the brilliant, possessive Thomas Overbury, this LGBTQ+ true crime story unfolds like a real-life Game of Thrones. As secret alliances form and enemies gather in the shadows, the line between love, manipulation, and survival begins to blur. This is queer history at its most dangerous.

    185. The Baby Faced Killer Anthony Miller And The Murder Of John Cremin

    A quiet park. A hidden meeting place. And a murder that exposed how criminalized queer lives made perfect targets. In 1960, a man entered Queen's Park and never came home. What began as another secret encounter in the shadows of a city that treated gay men as criminals became one of Scotland’s most disturbing LGBT true crime cases. In an era when queer relationships had to exist in whispers, predators learned exactly where fear could silence victims, and how the law itself could shield violence.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer history, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and step into a true crime story where secrecy became a weapon, and survival came at a deadly cost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    183. Disco Demolition Night aka "The Night Disco was Murdered for being Gay"

    A stadium packed with thousands… and a bomb waiting at center field. They came to destroy disco but what erupted that night exposed something far deeper. On July 12, 1979, what started as a cheap baseball promotion at Chicago’s Comiskey Park spiraled into chaos now known as Disco Demolition Night. Fans were promised discounted tickets if they brought disco records—records that would be blown up between games. But when the explosion hit, the crowd surged, the field was overtaken, and the night descended into a full-scale riot that forced a forfeited game. Beneath the surface, this wasn’t just about music, it was a backlash against a culture rooted in Black, Latino, and LGBTQ+ communities, making it one of the most controversial moments in queer history. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we unpack the night disco “died”… and what was really being targeted. Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers dives into chilling true crime with a queer perspective, exposing the stories history tried to bury. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we unravel the chaos, culture, and consequences behind one explosive night. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    182. Ireland's Stonewall- The Murder of Declan Flynn

    Five men hunted him for sport. And when it was over, the justice system let them walk free. In 1982, 31-year-old Declan Flynn went to Dublin’s Fairview Park, unaware he had been chosen as a target in a wave of violent “queer-bashing” attacks. What followed was a brutal killing that shocked Ireland, but the real outrage came after: a courtroom decision that left the public stunned and furious. This LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode dives into a case that didn’t just expose violence, it exposed a system that seemed to excuse it. In telling Flynn’s story, we uncover how one death ignited a movement, reshaped queer history in Ireland, and forced a nation to confront its own prejudice. Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.
