Tolerance is not the suspension of judgement or of Conscience. Tolerance without judgement or Conscience is not a virtue.

I am not a big fan of tolerance myself, as there are some things that ought not be tolerated. Tolerance in and of itself is not a moral good, as it includes the acceptance of the Holocaust, and other evils, both great and small. We have no moral obligation to tolerate what we see as wrong, but we do have a moral obligation not to do wrong in expressing our intolerance. If it is in fact, your belief that homosexuality is immoral, then tolerance does not require that judgement to be changed.

For example if a person expresses hate for all members of a particular group without foundation or reason, we are not obligated to remain silent. We can, and should oppose it, but not with censorship or violence. If he chooses to act on his beliefs and proceeds to violence OR the threat of violence then we are further obligated in using whatever means needed to stop him. This does not mean than censorship is always a social evil, only that it must be used sparingly and with a great deal of thought for the possible consequences.

Often those accused of "intolerance" are in fact guilty of nothing more than the expression of an opinion contrary to the accusers. In such a situation "tolerance" becomes a tool to eliminate inconvenient opinions. They hope to guarantee that we will not oppose in any meaningful way those things we disagree with. If one side of an argument is uncompromising while the other is compliant, tolerance simply becomes a weapon used to coerce others.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean I must be tolerant of your views, only that I must allow you to express them. The opportunity to speak without harassment and the absence of legal, or institutional sanction if you say something I don't like. It does not mean you are free from criticism for what you say. There is no guarantee that you will not be challenged on what you say, only that you will not be punished.

Tolerance in essence is self-restraint and good manners, and on certain issues this can often be very difficult. There are occasions when you should not express your views for any number of reasons, just as there are times when you MUST. Judgement is the virtue needed to distinguish the proper response on such occasions.
