EP 127. Atlanta’s Stonewall – The 2009 Police Raid on the Atlanta Eagle

SWAT burst through the doors. Patrons were shoved to the floor. And Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ community said: enough.

In September 2009, a heavily armed police raid targeted the Atlanta Eagle, one of the city’s longest-standing gay bars. No drugs. No weapons. No arrests. So why the violent show of force? This episode uncovers what really happened that night, the civil rights lawsuit that followed, and how a community transformed outrage into organized resistance.

This LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode examines queer resilience in the face of police violence—and the night Atlanta had its own Stonewall.

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.
