113.) The Everard Gay Baths Tragedy
Description
Nine men dead. A fire with no answers. And a community forced into silence.
In 1977, a blaze tore through the Everard Baths in New York City—once a vibrant safe space for gay men during a time of extreme oppression. The media painted it as a seedy accident. But the deeper you dig, the more haunting the story becomes. Who were the victims? Why was the truth buried so quickly? And what did this fire reveal about society’s treatment of queer spaces in crisis?
This true crime episode confronts one of the most overlooked disasters in LGBTQ+ history.
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.
Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.
