135.) They Called It Suicide - It Was Gay Hate: The Sydney Cliff Murders

They called it suicide. But the cliffs told a different story.

For years, gay men were found dead at the bottom of Sydney’s seaside bluffs—while the police looked the other way.

In the 1980s and '90s, Sydney was gripped by a wave of brutal violence against queer men. Bodies turned up at the foot of the cliffs. Cases were closed without investigation. And gangs of young men bragged about hunting in packs—while law enforcement refused to act. In this episode, we dig into the Sydney cliff murders, the culture of hate that fueled them, and the survivors still fighting for justice. This isn’t just a story about murder—it’s about what happens when an entire system decides queer lives don’t matter.

If you're into LGBTQ+ true crime podcasts, queer history, or chilling unsolved LGBTQ+ mysteries, this one's for you.

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.
