It's time to update LDS President Thomas S. Monson's résumé.
The LDS Church leader now can add "Q Salt Lake Person of the Year" to his list of notable honors, which range from Brigham Young University's "Exemplary Manhood Award" to the Boy Scouts' Silver Beaver prize.
Q Salt Lake , Utah's gay and lesbian magazine, recognized Monson for having the biggest impact on the gay community in 2008. His letter urging Mormons to support California's Proposition 8 helped eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in the Golden State.

LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter declined to comment on Monson's latest recognition.
