In 50 years or so, President Bednar or whoever is in charge will have to give some rambling excuse for why women were denied the priesthood for so long.

I don't think so. Women still have all the necessary tools to gain exaltation where the blacks did not.
If anything, it will be the prejudice against the gays that the church will be backpedaling on. Of course, even a gay person has the ability to gain exaltation. It's okay to be gay... just don't act on it.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Back In a January 2002 interview, Former LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley was also asked: "Until 1978 no person of color attained the priesthood in your church. Why it took so long time to overcome the racism?"
Here is how Former LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley, Responded to that Question:
This is correct.
This is Not exactly correct LDS Doctrine.
Here is what Current LDS President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the 12, Recently Stated:
