Kyle Ashworth | LGBTQ+ Speaker
A passionate speaker, Kyle Ashworth is dedicated to inclusivity and invested in arousing a sense of curiosity and empathy to the LGBTQ/Latter-day Saint audience. Kyle was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) faith. He was a closeted gay man who married a woman, raised a family, and at the age of 32, came out. He navigated his journey which included a reevaluation of his faith, his marriage, LGBTQ advocacy, and moving forward in a healthy trajectory. Kyle is the host of the Latter Gay Stories podcast, the most popular and longest running gay Mormon podcast.
Kyleâs speaking opportunities and presentations are anchored in a modern version of Maya Angelouâs famous quote: âwhen you know better, you do better.â Kyleâs informative and non-combative speaking style gives audiences an opportunity to better understand the intersection of sexuality and realityâespecially where it meets in religious intersections. Using his own lived experience as a gay man, and pulling from current and historical research and events, Kyle gives a solid foundation for understanding the experiences of others & acting in allyship. His events always allow for a no-hold barred Q&A session, allowing participants to ask anythingâfree from embarrassment.Â
Kyleâs keynote subjects include:
â On The Record: A Chronology of Latter-day Saint Policy and Messaging Regarding LGBTQ+ Topics
â What to Expect When You Werenât Expecting Homosexuality (excellent for parents/allies)
â Coming Out and Giving Grace (excellent for people just coming out or navigating their journey)
â Thriving Beyond Mormonismâs Latter-GAY policies (post-Mormon LGBTQ+ audience)Â

We loved Kyleâs presentation at the Ogden Utah Thrive event. My husband and I were blown away at how simple and logical his âWhat To Expectâ presentation was. We learned SOOO much as parents of a newly âoutâ daughter.
