October is designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In the LGBTQ community, domestic violence and abuse is generally referred to as Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse, or IPV/A. As a journalist, IPV/A is my signature issue. Therefore, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I’m involved in various activities. The first was an in-depth discussion of IPV/A on Dishing [...]
You know, I absolutely adore my assistant, Raheem! One important reason: he uncovers topical issues impacting the LGBTQ Community for exclusive features in Wyattevans.com. Raheem handed me an article from Poz.com about a recent observational study with this eye-opening conclusion: Black men who engage in sex with men (MSM) report higher rates of condom breakage and slippage as well [...]
Some time ago, I wrote a Huffington Post Gay Voices column entitled, “Kickin’ One Back May Be One Too Many.” The piece deals with such an important and timely issue, that I’ve decided to re-introduce it. So, here it is: in a group of U.S. men who have sex with men (MSM), heavy drinking plus having more than one unprotected [...]
Picture this: you’re in a committed relationship. But for whatever reason, both you and your partner decide to invite another man into your bed. You both say to each other, “Now, this is only a one-time ‘thang!’ We’re just doing this to add some spice, to shake things up a bit. This will make our union that much stronger!” [...]
Greetings! My latest HUFFINGTON POST column has just been published! It’s a profile of CRISEAN (pronounced “Cris-Shawn”), the openly gay, multi-talented, emerging musical artist who was a recent guest on The WOE Show. Engaging and reflective, Crisean has an intriguing and affecting story to tell. Visit: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/wyatt-obrian-evans/the-uniqueness-and-the-bo_b_5665907.html
Dating and/or having sex can be a daunting challenge for MSM (men who have sex with men), particularly those who are HIV-negative. But only if you let it. And, I’ll explain exactly what I mean about that a little later. But first, stats on HIV. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 1 [...]
In Part One of “How Nice Guys Finish Last,” I told you about one of my good buddies who recently went from touching the sky to (trying) to pick himself up from one of the longest and hardest falls in his romantic life. I really feel for “Damien” because he’s a great guy, with good intentions. He’s got that proverbial [...]

Recently, one of my good buddies went from touching the sky to (trying) to pick himself up from one of the longest and hardest falls in his romantic life. I really feel for “Damien” because he’s a great guy, with good intentions. He’s got that proverbial “heart of gold.” Let me explain what happened. Damien met this masculine, attractive guy, who’s rather [...]
I must admit that hip-hop/rap has never been my “thang.” However, I’d been hearing lots of “noise” about Hip-Hop in Houston, the recent tome that chronicles the hip-hop culture of that city, which is a major hub of the genre. I spoke with the author, Mr. Maco Faniel, about the intersection of hip-hop and homophobia. Read Hip-Hop in Houston in its entirety [...]
As a journalist, I've made domestic violence and abuse within the LGBTQ community, generally referred to as Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A), my signature issue. As well, I’m conducting IPV/A seminars and workshops across the country. And, intimate partner violence and abuse is the overarching theme of my new novel, Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—RAGE! I want to make you aware of a recent University of [...]
So, just who is Babsi Pusca? Well, she's the German lead vocalist of the North London band, Pusca. I interviewed Babsi for two reasons: One, I'm into alternative music. But most importantly, the arttst--who's straight--is a committed ally and friend to/of the LGBT Community. The vocalist discussed the LGBT rights protest statement she made during the 2014 Winter Olympics, held in Sochi, [...]
