This is a simple question:
Is intolerance wrong?
The question arises because people have a tendency to connote intolerance with something negative.
Thats because it can be negative.
According to which biased people?
So then it is not wrong to be intolerant of homosexual marriage, if intolerance is only wrong according to the beliefs of biased people?

Acceptable intolerance has to be based on something more known to be harmful. In tolerance of mature consenting adults doing loving one another is not equal to be intolerent of someone harming someone, like say a pedophile.
Out of curiousity, where does it say that in the rulebook?
Some people use it as a dirty word, implying that it's always negative.Thats because it can be negative.
Don't know of any rule book, and your free to be as huge an asshole as you want to be. But you asked if it was wrong, and not what rules or laws were. If you're being intolerant of something that is none of your business, that isn't harmful to others, and breaks no laws, well, you can't call that equal to something that does one or more of thsoe things.
Can it be said that it's not wrong to have a differing opinion against, say, homosexuality/homosexual marriage? Or an opinion against abortion? Or tax breaks for the wealthy?
So basically, can I simply dismiss people who negatively label me as intolerant, as biased partisans?
How about this.
You can be intolerant of gays all you want, you can have a big intolerant cake and have a giant intolerant parade and march right through intolerant square.
And then I will simply be intolerant of you
See how that works.

See, you're still not answering my question.
It's made know that intolerance is not 100% wrong or right.
And when you say it's wrong to be intolerant of homosexuality, you're biased.
