I'd be willing to bet you that of all the candidates out there, there is more than one "most qualified" candidate. I'd also be willing to bet that of that shorter list of "most qualified", there are some straight white guys, and some women, and some gay guys, and some non-white guys.

It would depend on why. If it's because they think that gays, African Americans and women are stupid and inferior and have cooties, then I would have a problem. If it's because 95% of their company is already African American or gay or women and they would like to have a more diverse company, then no I don't have a problem with it.
