In 2009, Kyler was honored as a "hero" in the Seattle LGBT community. This award was established by Seattle Out and Proud (SOaP) to recognize those in the community working to change minds and attitudes towards the LGBT community. Kyler commented about the occasion, "Pride is always a fun time of year. It's the one time everyone can come together and celebrate who they are without societal judgment and persecution. As a member of the LGBT community, I can stand prideful of who I am."
Kyler was honored to accept the newly created "Cowardly Lion" award. Award presenter, Terry McMahan underscored the importance of this honor, "This award was created to recognize members who work tirelessly in the community to make a difference and further the LGBT movement.
