Time to nominate X-Mormon of the Year 2014!!

chanson, December 27, 2014January 15, 2015

X-Mormon of the Year It’s awards time again!! The first award on our list is the William Law X-Mormon of the Year award!!

I think that 2014 has one very obvious candidate. But to keep it sporting, let’s try to nominate a few others as well. I’ll add my own nominations if necessary. Let’s keep the nominations open for two weeks so they will have a bit of overlap with the Brodie nominations, which will begin next week. 😀

** Edit: vote here!!!

    @chanson – the qualifications are the a person is a non mainstream mormon in the national/international news? They may or may not be ex or post mormon, right?

    I was thinking of nominating Mia Love, who recently was elected to the House of Representatives in Utah. But I don’t know that she’s a non-traditional mormon.

    I also nominate the guy (Shane Pittson)? who is attempting to change the beard restrictions at BYU. Good luck!

    I would nominate Ultra Violet, who was Andy Warhol’s sidekick and passed away this year, but she also may not really qualify as a non traditional mormon.

    I’m torn between Denver Snuffer and Kate Kelly. I feel like we need to recognize a handful of people this year, so much has happened.

    It’s fun to see that Kirn still has his XMOTY award displayed on his Wiki page…

    Kate Kelly. Runnels is a good second choice but he’s still technically a member as I understand it and the CES letter is older than 2014.

    Or John Dehlin (can he be nominated?)

  14. Ron Proctor says:
    January 1, 2015 at 12:17 pm

    Kate Kelly in 2014 and likely John Dehlin in 2015 (how good of the church to delay his excommunication long enough that this wouldn’t be a split decision).

  15. Holly says:

    Kate Kelly.

    I nominate Sue Emmett. She works the year around to produce the Post Mormon Foundation Conference every year. She has been doing it for years.
