Of course he didn’t say one word about being ex’d for anything but his historical work. He didn’t think it would gain him the sort of sympathy he wanted to admit that he was actively homosexual…and he was actively gay at the time of his excommunication. That was why he was excommunicated.

The very language of his excommunication proves that one. “Conduct unbecoming a member of the church” AND 'apostasy?" …when we know that the charge of apostacy was not a unanymous vote, but that the other was? His 'historical work" (which is incorrect) would fall under apostacy–but 'conduct unbecoming a member of the church" is about actions; generally sexual misconduct.

You know, like Hardy the pinup pimp, and Quinn the gay guy…

There doesn’t seem to be much consistency in any of this.

Remember the Mormon Missionaries that posted pictures of themselves on the internet vandalizing and desecrating a Catholic Shrine? No ex-ing for them.

Then you have the guy that made the calendar of Mormon Missionaries shirtless. He got ex-ed in a minute, with no discipline for the guys that posed.

Just a little inconsistent don’t you think?

I especially liked this quote (bolding mine):

Mormon Calendar-maker Chad Hardey was excommunicated from the Church of Latter Day Saints. Mormon Chad Hardey had been summoned by a council of church elders in Las Vegas to discuss his "conduct unbecoming of a member of the church."

Which commandment is that again? If people consistently got ex-ed for that, numbers would be way down dont’ you think?

Hardy’s diploma was withheld.

BYU also won’t give him his diploma.
Xavierlives;6164030:

Err… he has graduated

and they refuse to give him a diploma?

He was ex’d after completing all requirements for his degree, but before the graduation ceremony.

“Chad Hardy of Las Vegas attended graduation ceremonies Aug. 15 after finishing up his last four units of study online in June. But on July 13, in between completing his studies and the graduation ceremony, he was excommunicated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

Funny how they would allow him to attend his graduation ceremony, but not get his degree or diploma.

He completed all of the requirements for the degree. Witholding the diploma is just petty.

The article also says:

“If in the future you are reinstated as a member of the church in good standing, you are invited to contact my office regarding your possible eligibility for the awarding of a degree,” Finlinson wrote.

What would they have done if he wasn’t LDS to begin with? Make him join?
