Episode Details

It was Christmas Eve, and The Drama Club—Houma, Louisiana’s only gay bar—was full of holiday cheer. The celebration doubled as a birthday bash for Robert LeCompte, the bar’s beloved manager and local queer icon. But by morning, joy turned to horror. Robert was found brutally murdered inside the very space he helped make a sanctuary.

The shock of his killing tore through the tight-knit LGBTQ+ community. And as investigators searched for answers, suspicion circled those closest to the bar—coworkers, regulars, even friends.

This episode dives deep into the unsolved murder of a man who meant everything to his community, exploring the grief, fear, and unanswered questions that still haunt Houma.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers shines a spotlight on small-town queer stories that demand to be heard.

Grab a drink. Press play. And remember the life—and mystery—of Robert LeCompte.
