As Aristotle said, "Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society."
And yet Greeks had no problems with homosexuals. So they didn't even have to be "tolerant" towards "them".
So I read this sentence the other way around: a society that has to be "tolerant" is dying, as things that should not bother anyone at all are apparently bothering a lot of people (some of whom at least try to stay "tolerant" towards them).
There are those who believe something, and therefore will tolerate nothing; and on the other hand, those who tolerate everything, because they believe nothing. -- Robert Browning
