EP 29. The Mysterious Death of Marsha P. Johnson

Activist. Icon. Found dead in the Hudson River.

In 1992, Marsha P. Johnson—drag queen, sex worker, and legendary figure of the Stonewall uprising—was discovered floating in the water just days after Pride. Police called it a suicide. But her friends knew better. They suspected foul play, and demanded answers in a world that too often failed to protect Black queer and trans lives.

This episode dives into Marsha’s life, the questions surrounding her death, and why her legacy continues to fuel the fight for queer justice. Was it an accident? A cover-up? Or something even darker?

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.
