The Brodie Awards and X-Mormon of the Year

chanson, November 22, 2020November 22, 2020

Main Street Plaza has hosted the Brodie Awards and William Law X-Mormon of the Year for a full ten years. It all started in 2009 when exmos were explicitly excluded from the Bloggernacle’s “Niblets” — a set of awards that fizzled out a few years later. Check the sidebar for links to all of the winners!

Since Main Street Plaza has become more of a ghost town than a bustling main street — does it make sense to continue? If you would like to see these awards for 2020, please comment below (sometime before mid-December 2020).

Whatever you decide, it’s been great fun, and I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride as much as I have!

Folks, I wish I had some good news for you. Unfortunately, we’re screwed. The fact that Mormons voted overwhelmingly for Trump was a particularly cruel disappointment, especially for their fellow religious minorities. I’m not really sure what’s in store for our species, for our future, but I guess after a…
