Actually, that is not my next question. My next question is: are you aware that up until the early 60's, the Hotel Utah (owned and operated by the LDS church) did not allow blacks to visit the hotel? This was done with full knowledge and consent of the top leaders of the church.
Clearly, this was a racist policy. And to a certain degree it was a product of the times in which they lived.
So if they could err with this policy (please educate me if you don't agree it was an error), then why not concede the possibility that there could be some error in the other policy? Or at the least, concede the possibility that apostles (just like the rest of us) can be racist at times.
