EP 24. Paul Broussard and Houston's Stonewall

A young man was murdered. The city stayed quiet. But the queer community refused to be silent.

In 1991, 27-year-old Paul Broussard was brutally beaten to death in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood after leaving a gay nightclub. His killers—ten teenagers from the suburbs—were caught, but justice moved slowly, if at all. Local authorities downplayed the attack, media coverage was scarce, and the city tried to move on. But Houston’s LGBTQ+ community wouldn’t let the case fade into silence. What followed became known as “Houston’s Stonewall”—a turning point that forced a reckoning with hate crimes and queer visibility in Texas.

This episode explores the crime that sparked a movement—and why Paul’s name still matters today.

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.
