I think there is truth to the idea that intolerance begets contempt. It's also true that the prevailing approach to freedom of expression is that any expression deliberately harmful is often not tolerated.
With that said -
Blaming one person's strong opinion on a contentious matter for enabling generative homophobia is TRULY wild. That is moving into full throttle antagonism. There are always far better ways to engage with someone in disagreement with you.
Edit: just reflecting on what I just read over the last page.
