Being tolerant is purely voluntary. One chooses to be or not. Mores (and laws) in society change because a majority of people share the same values, e.g. slavery, child labor, 1 man, 1 vote, etc. If you don't share the same values, then you'll have a problem with society's rules, but that's up to the individual to deal with. It's a free country. If it's forced on you, the term tolerance isn't in the equation. Instead, use another term like coerce, force or demand.
