Iryna Zarutska & Charlie Kirk: Violence Isnât the Answer
Dear Bianca: LGBTQ+ Dating, Sex & Relationships
In this episode of Dear Bianca, I step away from our usual lighthearted conversations to reflect on two tragedies that captured national attention this week: the devastating death of Iryna Zarutska on the light rail and the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. As a queer podcast community, I know these events bring up complicated emotions â grief, anger, even conflicting feelings about justice. But one thing is clear: celebrating violence is not who we are. In this episode, I talk about what these moments reveal about Americaâs broken systems, why violence cannot be...

Football Season Started and So Did My Injuries
Dear Bianca: LGBTQ+ Dating, Sex & Relationships
September really said, âLetâs test her.â In one week, I collected a whole new friend group, blew through way too much money going out, and earned a solid âFâ on my first fantasy football report card (thank you, apparently I suck at drafting). And because life loves balance, my 30s decided to show up with random knee pain every time I try to work out â cute. Add in football season officially here, fall vibes taking over, and whispers of an early winter, and honestly⌠weâre thriving. This is your fun, slightly unhinged, very sarcastic catch-up on how September is already giving...

What Not to Do If Youâre Having an Affair
Dear Bianca: LGBTQ+ Dating, Sex & Relationships
Picture this: Coldplay hits the stage, the arena cameras sweep the crowd, andâboomâtwo people busy having an affair go full-PDA under 60,000 phones. In this weekâs Dear Bianca I roast that Jumbotron-level misfire and wonder why anyone thinks âsecretâ and âstadiumâ belong in the same sentence. Meanwhile, I pulled a ten-hour âletâs just go to Italyâ stuntâbooked, realized I have too much going on, cancelled, and now Iâm babysitting âŹ1200 in cash. Next stop? Vegas. Almost four months alcohol-free and betting on mineral water instead of martinis. We also peel apart three...

Love, Loss, and My Best Friend Shannon
Dear Bianca: LGBTQ+ Dating, Sex & Relationships
This episode means so to me. But before you hit play, do yourself a favorâgrab a box of tissues, because I cannot keep it together. Today, February 21st, is my best friend Shannonâs birthday. She should be here celebrating, but instead, Iâm honoring her memory. Shannon passed away at just 28 years old due to alcohol addiction, which led to acute kidney and liver failure. Losing her changed me forever. In this episode, I take you through the journey of our friendshipâthe laughter, the love, and the moments that still make me smile.
