There's a difference between allowing for the idea or the expression of intolerance, and tolerating a policy of intolerance. I don't disallow that the KKK should be allowed to hold marches and want to found an Aryan race, but I would never support that policy in the name of "understanding" or "tolerance" or "Voltaire" or anything else. I'm fine if Joe the revivalist preacher from down the street wants to rail against homosexuals all day (or more frequently, rail homosexuals all night, and then get pulled over for a DUI leaving some backhills gay bar) but I'm not cool with a policy of intolerance. So no, I do no support the policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", but I do support your right or anyone else's right to want to have it as a policy. It's like cultural relativism -- I love the philosophy, but in my magic world, two Arab kids wouldn't be buried up to their shoulders and stoned to death just for getting a little horny.
