Tolerance is acceptable in my eyes. If I were a Jew in a Poland ghetto in the 40s, I would be happy to be tolerated. If I didnt bathe and smelled awful, I would hope someone would tolerate my presence. If I were gay living in some parts of CO I would be happy to be tolerated.
Tolerance is not ideal, but it is a start, a first step as you said. When reading the OP my first thought was that no, tolerance is not enough, but upon further thought I think differently. Thanks.
