IIRC the Mormons erased the codified racism back in the 70's. Gays are still hosed though.

Basically this. And even the LDS Church is saying "okay, non-discrimination policies are fine" in a collection of cities in the most populous county in Utah. They've even gotten close to supporting a statewide nondiscrimination law in Utah, but they didn't feel like it exempted them enough. Utahns support non-discrimination policies by something like 70% (which obviously includes a bunch of Mormons), and a Republican from St. George, Utah's version of Florida (in that it has a lot of old white people) is going to introduce the non-discrimination legislation for the second time.

It's not like the LDS Church likes LGBT people, and they won't be touting civil unions or marriage equality any time soon, but even they are all "maybe we shouldn't be so 1950s on this".
