202. LGBTQ+ Voices Of 9/11

A day that changed the world and some of the queer lives caught in its path. Twenty-five years after 9/11, we remember several LGBTQ+ victims whose stories deserve to be told. From longtime partners denied recognition after their loved ones died, to a gay Catholic FDNY chaplain who ran into the chaos to help others, and an openly gay passenger aboard United 93 who helped fight back, these are stories of love, loss, courage, and queer history. In this episode we look beyond the headlines and remember the people behind one of the darkest days in American history. Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings true crime with a queer perspective, forgotten LGBTQ+ stories, and queer history to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and remember the lives behind the tragedy. * * * Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
