137.) Murdered for Flying A Pride Flag: The Story of Lauri Carleton

She didn’t identify as queer—but she believed in our right to exist. And for that, she was murdered in cold blood.

In this episode, we cover the tragic case of Lauri Carleton, a beloved California store owner and ally who was fatally attacked outside her business for displaying a Pride flag. The small mountain town of Cedar Glen was shaken—and the LGBTQ+ community, once again, forced to reckon with the deadly cost of visibility. As investigators search for answers, we examine the culture of hate that continues to turn symbols of love into targets. This is a story not only of loss, but of quiet courage—and the price paid for standing with us.

If you're drawn to LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episodes that explore queer history, allyship, and the ongoing fight against hate, this one deserves your full attention. It’s true crime with a queer perspective—and a warning that silence, too, can be dangerous.

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.
