Kristy Money is impressive on so many levels.
She graduated from BYU at age 19, completing a Ph.D. in counseling psychology at age 25 (dissertation on LDS suicide)
She serves on the Ordain Women board of directors as a co-founder of OW, assembled the famous “6 discussions” for Ordain Women, and is the host of Ordain Women podcast.
She has authored three incredibly influential op-eds for the Salt Lake Tribune:
LDS Church should make clear Smith was wrong to take 14-year-old wife
Think, seminary teachers, before acceding to church essay on Joseph Smith’s polygamy
LDS Church should go further to disavow racist priesthood ban
She is the creator of the http://voicesoflove.org project (in support of same-sex love within Mormonism), which is a response to Ty Mansfield’s Voice of Hope project (promoting either mixed-orientation marriages or celibacy).
She is currently serving on the Mormon Mental Health Association Board of Directors.
Her journey has been featured in the New York Times and in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
She is currently facing church discipline for her efforts with Ordain Women, and for speaking openly in her congregation about matters of racial injustice.

When identified as an executive board member for Ordain Women in a Facebook Group on March 24, 2015, she declared that she was a “Proud temple recommend holder and active Mormon too.” This is the image that she wants the world to see. However, in the A Thoughtful Faith Facebook Group, among fellow apostates and enemies of the Church, she had written on October 20, 2014, that she and her husband had stopped paying tithing as a couple and described this as an “incredibly freeing experience as a family.” Then she went on to explain how others can fool their bishops too by paying a small amount online and clicking “the box that says not to disclose the amount to your bishop.” This is useful advice for those members for whom “having a recommend is important for weddings. Or because it’s important that a bishop/sp [stake president] shouldn’t be able to tell you whether or not you are worthy to enter the Lords house.”
Ordain Women leaders and supporters like to say that they are authentic; that they are active and believing members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We know better: Kristy Money Straubhaar is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

On March 15, 2015 my local priesthood leaders threatened to remove my temple recommend because I am on the Executive Board of Ordain Women. My conscience would not allow me to resign, so I encouraged them to reconsider. They did hold off, but on June 21st–exactly one year after I witnessed the church excommunicate my friend Kate as I sat next to her–they stripped me of my recommend.
------
By stripping me of my recommend, my priesthood leaders are inhibiting my ability to be a good example as a mother in our culture. Such discipline sends the message to every Mormon–including my family, my fellow congregants, my LDS neighbors, and my own children–that I am not worthy.

Kristy, if you don't pay a full tithe of 10% of all your income then, by the rules of the club you're in, you are not worthy. If you are not paying a full tithe then your leaders had every right (under the club rules you signed up to) to disallow your temple recommend for that alone.
Dr. Kristy Money Straubhaar is the registrant for pro-gay Voicesoflove.org, according to Who.is. It's mission is to assert "the right to still belong to their community, family, and religious group (if they so desire) no matter who they choose to love." Kristy recommends her site for gay members of the LDS church.
People should be allowed to love who they want? Great! So why does Straubhaar condemn polygamy?
The anti-Mormon Salt Lake Tribune published an article by Straubhaar that blasts Joseph Smith's polygamy. She says "sexual predators have been using" the church's rationalizations for polygamy "long before the church recently published them." She incorrectly states that D&C 132 says a man has a "God-given right to take" a virgin if he simply desires her, and that his original wife has no say in the matter. This is false. Verse 61 clearly states that the first wife must give her consent. And the point is moot really, since polygamy was long ago banned. Straubaar seems to doubt that polygamy was inspired by God: "Would a loving God do that to his children?"
Yet on her gay marriage site, Straubaar links to a church essay on polygamy and praises it:
"Recently the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints acknowledged in its church history that leaders’ definition of marriage changed drastically over time. The Church also released a press statement on the importance of “teaching that all people should be treated with respect.” As a psychologist, I embrace those statements and am committed to helping youth hear voices from couples who are or were Mormon, who love and commit to someone of their same gender. Stories of families created from these loving bonds should be celebrated and shared."

Why is Kristy praising polygamy on one site and then condemning it elsewhere?

That seems a fair question....
