Southworth was raised in Orland, Indiana, but currently resides in Fort Wayne, Indiana.[5] Southworth announced that he was gay on Wednesday, April 16, 2008, stating, "This has been a long time coming. I’m in a place where I’m at peace with my faith, friends, family and more importantly myself. I know this will end my career in Christian television, but I must now live my life openly and honestly with everyone. This is my reason for doing this." After making this public to the Out & About Newspaper in Nashville, it quickly became national news. Southworth was featured on The Huffington Post, PerezHilton.com, The Advocate, and the Fox News Channel.[3][4][6][7]

After coming out, Southworth was named one of Instinct's "Leading Men of 2008". Southworth has advocated for LGBT rights with the Soulforce Q "2008 Equality Ride".[8][9] He is currently writing a book detailing his account about growing up gay in a Pentecostal home. In 2010, Southworth was the opening act for gay Christian singer, Ray Boltz, on his "Living True: the tour".[10]
