I pretty much let folks have their views and go about my business. I have no problem with folks expressing their views; my problem has always come with a counter group trying to silence them. Why are we so scared to let folks that have views opposed to ours (left read as "views that are damaging to entire groups of people") talk? Allow them to express their views and then expose them for the idiots they are and hopefully no one will try to silence you when you do so.

No one is telling you that you should tolerate  anything; however, when you do not tolerate speech; you are intolerant. Of course that's my view and perhaps not that of "normal people".

I made me judge of what is allowed to be tolerated.  I'm certainly not going to let someone else tell me what I need to tolerate.  When it comes to what YOU tolerate, I suggest that you make that decision for yourself as well.

I value my right to offend anyone that I want if I choose to, as well as the right for others to do the same.  I'm not sure if you think otherwise about me, but the only time I think I would step in and stop speech is if it's advocating violence against groups of people or single individuals.  

If these people want to spout their gross views, let them do it.  I don't think they should be silenced.  That doesn't mean I have to like them.  They choose to dislike and advocate against the LGBT community.  I choose to automatically dislike people who do that.  I would do the same if another group advocated for the removal of the rights of Christians, or black people, or Republicans, or furry midgets or whatever other group you can think of to discriminate against.  **** 'em.  If that makes me intolerant (I don't know, does it?), then I fully embrace the term.
