How can you say they are not tolerant? Does the evangelical movement in question go around petrol bombing homosexuals' homes? Do they go about "gay-bashing"? Or do they just speak out against a lifestyle they feel is sinful? Would you say a local neighbourhood watch group is being intolerant at speaking out against gangs on youths/hoodies who congregate outside shops? Do they take the time to get to know the kids in question or do they just feel uncomfortable about them being there?
Just because a group dislikes a certain lifestyle and speaks out about it does not IMO make them intolerant - everyone is entitled to dislike a section or group in society - it's the people who beat them up, torch their homes and campaign to get them moved on who are the intolerant ones surely?
