Ok so, recently the main member of the popular tv show voiced his opinion of homosexuality, this angered the LGBT community.
honestly I could care less, thats his opinion on our lifestyle, he doesnt agree with it. This doesnt mean he's intolerant. I feel that we also need to be tolerent of his beleifs and his life style. It called reverse tolerence, the LGBT community is always preaching tolerance, maybe its time they where tolerant. But thats just my opinion...

I find it funny, to be hoenst, as a straight/hetero observer to the whole thing how large parts of the LGBT can preach tolerance yet shout and scream when people dont fall into line with THE accepted opinion.
The west isn't a totalitarian society. People shouldn't be TOLD what to think, do or say.
A quote from the founding fathers of the US:
"I may not like what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it".
That is the meaning of true free speech, not the pseudo-free speech we have at the moment.

Free Speech Quote...
Not terribly relevant to your main point, but...
Actually, it was Voltaire who said it, presumably in French, which is one reason there are different versions (translations?) out there.
Another reason: Bartlett's quotes it as "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." But it says that it's an attribution, first seen in print in 1908 -- probably a paraphrase of a line from a letter Voltaire wrote in 1770: "Monsieur l'abbe, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write."
FWIW, Voltaire didn't live long enough to see free speech listed in the U.S. Bill of Rights. Under the monarchy, France was still imprisoning writers to the Bastille at that time, according to Wikipedia.
