Yes, it is. Tolerance does not exclude acceptance or agreement with someones opinion or lifestyle.
You can tolerate something without agreeing with it, but you can't agree with something without even tolerating it. That'd be a paradoxon.

This sounds very offensive in a thread about anti-gay camps.
I mean, it is your opinion, but "dislike of homosexuals" is pure generalization. Being homosexual is just one characteristic of thousands a human have. Everyone is an individual.
Lets say your best friend admits that he is gay, do you actually begin to dislike him because of that one little, insignificant charateristic?
