What, precisely, do we mean by tolerance?
In other words, I can hold to the value that other people have a right to their beliefs, without believing that all points of view are equally valid. Or be compelled to uphold the pursuit of such beliefs.

Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day: A bold mistake
The event also sends a message of separatism and territorialism
I do not question the motives of Mike Huckabee or those thousands joining him, but what about the wider effects? How is the Kingdom of God served by this? Is Jesus represented well to the gay community and the politicians pandering to them?
Is Chick-fil-a Day a “bold mistake”?
I don’t think that means that everyone needs to stay home from Chick-fil-a today.

‘The most accessible commentary to the average Bible reader today’
A Review of Matthew Henry: His Life and Influence, by Allan Harman, Christian Focus (2012)

He also brings out the fact that Charles Wesley's hymn "A Charge to Keep I Have" is based on Henry's comment on Leviticus 8:35.
