I’m that quintessential Renaissance Guy: Radio Personality (“WYATT!” Podcast), Author (“NCTUA”), Journalist (HuffPo, Advocate, Wyattevans.com, etc).

I Really Thought He Loved Me! Part Three G I Really Thought He Loved Me!

Part Three 

 

  Greetings! Read my new post on Qstack, “The LGBTQIA+ Community of Substacks.”

  I present Part Three of my interview with a male survivor of Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A), which is domestic violence/abuse within the LGBTQ+ community.  As you will see, his experience is harrowing and eye-opening.

Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED! “No Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED! 

 

 “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” is still servin’ up the Heat, the Passion, and the Power! And soon, its sequel, RUTHLESS!, drops like an atomic bomb!

  Here’s a 5-Star Amazon Review of SHATTERED!— 

 “Like a daytime drama, it keeps you wanting more! Among his many talents, Wyatt O’Brian Evans has written a series that has the one-two punch of a daytime TV soap opera, in all the good ways. His latest installment in the ‘Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” series, “SHATTERED!’, does not disappoint.

 “When Waseem, the vindictive son of Wesley Kelly, shows up, I thought of that famous line from Bette Davis in the Oscar-winning movie All About Eve: 'Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.’

 “SHATTERED! has all the steam, hawtness, and humor we have come to enjoy in Wyatt’s series, blended in with the issues of intimate partner violence/abuse, mental health issues, and their repercussions. Fasten your seat belts, readers, and get ready for Wes and Antonio’s greatest challenge yet!”

Grace Stone: Ugandan LGBTQ+ Activist Embodies Grit Grace Stone: Ugandan LGBTQ+ Activist Embodies Grit And…Grace!

 

  The new eppy of WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) exposes Uganda's 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act, which prohibits any form of sexual relations between persons of the same sex, in the guise of "protecting" the family structure. Same-sex relations were already illegal in Uganda before the passage of this legislation, as well as in more than 30 other African countries. However, Uganda's appalling and egregious law goes much further and is one of the world's toughest bans.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spyfgGV18wA

  Our special guest is Grace Stone ( @gracestone3278 ), the renowned Ugandan LGBTQ+ activist and Human Rights defender. In our exclusive sit-down, Grace talks about being a victim of anti-LGBTQ+ hate and violence, and how he's fighting back for the Community. It's an enlightening and eye-opening episode! 

  It's another reason that WYATT! is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"

Revealing "The Fantasies of Future Things" W Revealing "The Fantasies of Future Things"

 

  WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) shines the spotlight on Doug Jones (@dougjones.atlanta), author of "The Fantasies of Future Things," the acclaimed and highly anticipated new novel.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUTlvFnuPrU
 "The Fantasies of Future Things" is powerful, reminiscent of "Moonlight," the 2016 coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Barry Jenkins. "Moonlight" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, exploring the intersection of blackness, masculinity, and vulnerability.

  Alex Burger, writer for Artsatlanta.com, states, "' The Fantasies of Future Things' is an ambitious book, interweaving a political and personal story in which a city's search for growth and identity mirrors that of its main characters. The novel adeptly switches between points of view and time periods, evoking how each of our histories is layered into the present and helps shape and determine the future." High praise, indeed.

  The development, writing, and publication of "The Fantasies of Future Things" was an intriguing and winding process: Jones explains that it spanned 30 years. He also discusses what compels him to walk the literary path, his writing process, and the art and business of writing.

  So, get ready for another enlightening and entertaining installment of  WYATT!

  In mo' ways than one, WYATT! is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"

“Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” An Am “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” An Amazon Review

 

Mr. Fritzson Lewis states: “Where do I begin? ‘Nothing Can Tear Us Apart--SHATTERED!' is a spellbinding tour de force that had me completely enthralled from the first page to the last. Every page of this masterfully crafted book kept me eager for more. With short, engaging chapters, the anticipation built steadily as I eagerly progressed through the story.

I found myself deeply moved by the candid and unapologetic exploration of same-gender loving relationships in this narrative. The author's skillful storytelling vividly brings to life the experiences of the central characters, allowing me to fully engage with their world. The devotion and love the writer has poured into this tale shine through every sentence, making it an unforgettable literary journey…” (More of Mr. Fritzson’s review at:

THE MYTHS OF IPV/A, PART TWO Greetings! Chec THE MYTHS OF IPV/A, PART TWO

 

  Greetings! Check out my new post on Qstack, 'The LGBTQIA+ Community of Substacks,' for a read! 

  It exposes the myths of Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A), which is domestic violence and abuse within the LGBTQ+ community.

  I’m sure you’ve heard these misconceptions and falsehoods at some point. It’s essential to dispel them to truly make your “Great Escape” from IPV/A, which is a dysfunctional, destructive, and potentially deadly syndrome of abusive behavior.

"I Was An Angel!" Declares Author Troy Ford (Yeah, "I Was An Angel!" Declares Author Troy Ford (Yeah, Right. LOL!)

 

  The WYATT! Podcast ( #Wyattonair ) shines the spotlight on Troy Ford @mrtroyfordauthor the author of "LAMB: A Novel In Snapshots" and the publisher of Qstack, an influential LGBTQIA+ online platform on Substack.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eH9eIluXGU
  The winning wordsmith is receiving rave reviews for "LAMB." Kathleen Clare Waller, author of "An Interpreter in Vienna," states, "' LAMB' struck me as only rare books do: I found myself haunted equally by its joyous celebrations of identity, and the elusive nature of loss we all carry with us."

  Mr. Ford and I begin our conversation with his lively and rather entertaining childhood (This is where his declaration of "I was an angel!" comes into play. LOL!), which included his experiences growing up in the Middle East. Afterwards, we discuss his time at the University of California, Berkeley.

  Next, we move onto Ford's writing, which "explores the joy and pain of queerness through the lens of gay men who struggle in a world that views their lives as other and less than. His themes include love and sex, friendship and family, growing up and bullying, substance abuse and self-destructiveness – all with a touch of humor to lighten otherwise difficult topics." An insightful and thought-provoking analysis of "LAMB: A Novel In Snapshots" follows.

  Troy explains that he first serialized "LAMB" on Substack. The author gives us the full monty about why he made that inventive move, and what compelled him to create Qstack. Both are intriguing journeys that provide valuable insights into the publishing process.

  This eppy is yet another reason that WYATT!, in soooooo many ways, is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!"

“SHATTERED!” Is a True Masterpiece! Bravo!

 “In ‘Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!’, author Wyatt O. Evans paints a vivid, nuanced, and three-dimensional portrait of two Gay men who must navigate and confront critical obstacles, throwing their monogamous intimate relationship into jeopardy. Evans employs comic relief and connection to shed a bright light on crucial issues that Gay men face and how these issues relate to the community as a whole. And as a result, the author debunks the misconception that LGBTQ+ individuals don’t experience similar challenges as heterosexuals, including domestic violence and abuse.

 “From the outset, ‘SHATTERED!’ hooks the reader, who quickly becomes thoroughly invested in the story. You get such a sense of what it is like to be a fly on the wall and see diversity in such intense ways that deeply relate to our real everyday lives. 

 “Regardless of your background, you should be able to connect with this book, and it may also offer valuable insights into understanding and improving issues within your own relationship. Having universal appeal, ‘SHATTERED!’, strongly resonates with both LGBTQ+ and heterosexual audiences.  I HIGHLY recommend this book!”—David Shrank, MSW, LCSW-C; President, National Trauma Education and Policy Board. Visit: www.wyattevans.com/shattered/ ( YO! THE SEQUEL IS COMIN’!)

Exposed! The Ongoing Horror of Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate in Exposed! The Ongoing Horror of Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate in Uganda
 

  It's the premiere of the Fall 2025 Season of the WYATT! Podcast (#Wyattonair )! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQApI0Gijp8

  This explosive new episode exposes Uganda's 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act, which prohibits any form of sexual relations between persons of the same sex, in the guise of "protecting" the family structure. Same-sex relations were already illegal in Uganda before the passage of this legislation, as well as in more than 30 other African countries. However, Uganda's appalling and egregious law goes much further and is one of the world's toughest bans.

  Our special guest is Hans Senfuma (@semfuma_hans), the renowned Ugandan Gay rights activist. Hans and I discuss the precarious plight of LGBTQ+ Ugandans due to the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ hate and violence—and how he's pushing back. It's an enlightening and eye-opening episode!
