As I said before. In my eyes, tolerance & respect go hand in hand until the man no longer deserves my respect. A bigot does not receive my respect therefore no tolerance. He is then summarily ignored, not tolerated unless I want to use him as the tool that he is. Then he is laughingly tolerated.
A bigot makes the choice to be a bigot. Taught and learned. It is not something inherit. I don't consider it a failing. Tolerance does not mean accepting a bigot's failings. IF one wants to accept that kind of behavior then they are no more than an enabler and does nothing towards removing the problem.
