For me it all comes down to the question, Do you believe the prophet speaks for God and that God is speaking to him? If you believe that, then you accept and believe the revelations given. This isn’t a church run by public opinion. People can question and speak out about policies, but doctrine will remain doctrine. If you don’t accept the church and its doctrine, why are you still a member?

Three quotes/stories come to mind:
Choose ye this day whom ye will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
In Samuel’s day, the Israelites begged for a king because everyone else had a king. If everyone else is ordaining women to the priesthood. . .
We claim the privilege of worshipping almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege. Let them worship how, where, or what they may.
