Before landing in Cleveland, I put in a call to the Log Cabin Republicans to ask if they had any lesbian-focused events.

"There are not usually enough lesbians to make an event at the RNC,” the press lady told me over the phone.

I appreciated her candor, though it did make me wonder: How many lesbians does it take to make an event?

Throughout a fertile decade-and-a-half worth of studio recordings, songwriting, worship leading, vocal arranging, touring, acting, and most recently, becoming an author, Anthony Evans’ artistic pursuits have maintained an unflinching authenticity. Yet for all the times he rode high atop the gospel charts, crossed over into pop, worked on Grammy-winning projects, stepped out on the world’s most hallowed stages such as the Hollywood Bowl and even won the ear of Christina Aguilera for a remarkable run on NBC’s “The Voice,” the multi-faceted artist was perpetually in the process of finding an inner spiritual and personal peace.
