A hike in the woods. Two women in love. And a gunman lying in wait.
In 1988, Claudia Brenner and Rebecca Wight set out on a romantic getaway through Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Trail. But they were being watched. A homophobic drifter, hiding in the trees, saw them as targets. What followed was a hate-driven ambush that left Rebecca dead and Claudia clinging to life.
This is more than a story of loss—it’s one of survival and resistance. Claudia’s fight to tell their story helped bring national attention to anti-lesbian violence and paved the way for future advocacy.
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.
