Exactly.
I didn't say "in genereal". Just that being homophobic doesn't make someone a bad person. They don't like gays, big deal. I don't see what proof you want me to provide to show that they're not bad people. Actions are what make people bad, I couldn't care less if someone thinks that way as long as they don't actually harass gay people for it.
And aren't you being intolerant of intolerant people? Or does that not count?
Judging others?
Everyone judges other people, we analyse & evaluate human behaviour and draw conclusions all the time - thats just being human.
I like to think I make my judgements fairly, based on research and understanding and I am always open to my views being challenged - research and challenge are two of the only ways to evolve ideologies.
You didn't make a reply to what I said you just said that people of a homophobic ideology are in general nice people. Any form of intollerance inherently demonstrates character flaws. If you can provide any evidence to sustain you argument that 'homophobes are nice people' then I will read it.
Until then --

My ideology is 'tolerate anything but intolerance' (Yarnold, 2009
). I will defend someones right to do whatever they want so long as it doesn't infringe on someone elses right to do the same thing. I couldn't give two flying fucks if someone believes in a man in the sky - if that helps you deal with the fact that you are going to die and your life is meaningless then go for it, but if someone decides to organise it, try and convince other people to join in, take money from people to finance it, rape children, condemn a continent to poverty and suffering thats when the line is crossed because you are infringing on someones right to believe what they want. (this isn't a debate about religion but its the model i use to explain the ideology). The same goes for homophobia - if you someone wants to suck someones dick it doesnt affect me its their choice - if someone opposed that then they oppose the ideology of free choice and ideologies are where movements manifest and if its an intolerant ideology then all it will do it is create an intolerant culture.
Nip it in the bud and stop it before it gets worse. The only way to deal with intolerance is head on - if I hear someone say something racist/homophobic i will demand they explain the logic behind there decision to hold that ideology and then point out all the flaws in their argument.
Stop intolerance at the apathetic level before cumulative radicalisation kicks in.
