97.) The Brutal and Senseless Murder of Barry Winchell

He fell in love with a trans woman. His fellow soldiers hated him for it. And Don't Ask Don't Tell got him killed.

Barry Winchell was a private in the U.S. Army when he became the target of relentless bullying. When the whispers turned into threats, the military looked away—until one night, he was beaten to death in his sleep.

This episode examines the culture of silence and hate that led to his murder—and the reforms sparked in its wake.

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.
