That's not even close to what happens in reality. If it were, sure, you'd have a point. But it's not, so you don't have a point.
The gay community demands tolerance of their viewpoint, and excoriates people who do not provide that tolerance. The gay community does not excoriate the straight community (the diametrically opposed viewpoint), only the portion of the straight community that does not tolerate the gay community.
Maybe you expect the people you are intolerant of to be tolerant of your intolerance (as did the author of the quote I posted) - but that is an absurd viewpoint.
