I don't believe that tolerance is a good in itself.
Neither do I.
Let me be clear on something. If you were to pass laws that would criminalize my relationship, violate my privacy in my own home, or restrict my freedoms of speech, assembly, and association on the basis of my sexuality, then I would likely take very violent action against you in defense of my rights and freedoms. I am not tolerant of tyrants. I am not sure why you seem to think laws against consensual sexual contact between adults of the same sex are defensible given their tendency to violate the inherent rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of gay people, but I would recommend that you consider that I am ready to kill and die for my freedoms and you better aim for nothing less with your own life if your goal is to infringe on them.
