I know there are many modern doctrine and quotes that contradict past prophets and apostles; yet, now we have current apostles contradicting each other.
In the past, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young would allow the brethren to argue amongst themselves and then put in a final say on who won the debate or who is correct.
Dallin Oaks on treating SSA family with civility and love (spoiler alert he's against it)."One of three speakers at the press conference was Dallin Oaks. He has long been the Mormon church's lead antagonist of gay people. A few years ago Mr. Oaks was asked what a parent should say to their own gay child if he asked, "Can I bring my partner to our home to visit?" Mr. Oaks said, "I can imagine some circumstances in which it might be possible to say, 'Yes, come, but don't expect to stay overnight. Don't expect to be a lengthy house guest. Don't expect us to take you out and introduce you to our friends, or to deal with you in a public situation that would imply our approval of your 'partnership.'" It is galling that the LDS church would use him as a mediator with the LGBTQ community."

Cook on the same subject, "As a church, nobody should be more loving and compassionate. Let us be at the forefront in terms of expressing love, compassion and outreach. Let’s not have families exclude or be disrespectful of those who choose a different lifestyle as a result of their feelings about their own gender."
