first of all there is a difference between tolerance and respect.
secondly there is a difference between opposition to an action and slandering a group. Many people you would claim to be on your side say so. Hate the sinner not the sin? You were not doing that at all.

People who cite "god's laws" are using said laws to prohibit certain liberties of a minority group.
Just because I don't want to live under the laws of an imaginary man in the sky doesn't prevent you from living "god's laws".
The difference in respect comes from the fact that gay people aren't trying to prevent you from living your life, but people like you are trying to prevent gay people to having equal rights under the civil law.

"Why is the only thing not tolerated is oppostion to behavior that goes against God's laws?"
John 3:19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been carried out in God."
Proverbs 9:7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Luke 6:22 "Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. 24 "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 "Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. "Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 "Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
27 "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.

Your questioning and speech goes against God's law. And the precepts of other religions as well. Do you not realize that each word causes an action. You are doing more harm to your religion than good. If you truly love your God please consider your words before putting them in action.

I would like to answer whatever your question may actually be, but quite honestly, I have no idea whatsoever what your question could possibly be...???
How does one 'spout tolerance'?
The last sentence does circle 8's around itself and is not decipherable but only contradicts itself repeatedly. I am overwhelmed - sorry.

Surely you're not surprised by anything those hypocrites say, are you? Their own insecurities and fears are starting to manifest more and more. That and their abundant hypocrisy.
Don't sweat the small stuff.

you probably could have worded this question a little better...it's kinda convoluted and bendy...
tip: develop a thicker skin and say what you want...
1. don't play in traffic, especially during commuter hours.
2. mom and dad are probably ok.
3. you think, therefore you are.
put on your armor and get back into the game, gf...
