I've found that a good way to check for actual tolerance in a group is how they treat their furries.
Also, the furries make the internet work. plz. I need the furry hacking power in the world.

I don't understand a lot about human physiology and just accepting that other people are different than I am has allowed me to live and let live.
Intolerant of intolerance though, speaking up used to make me uncomfortable but now I almost revel in it. I encourage any future ally to just start speaking up, baby steps at first. "Hey, that's not cool." "Well, my relative is gay and they are a great person."
It’s amazing how often a soft-handed approach like “hey that was a mean thing to say” will make fuckers INSTANTLY back down and do that weak ass “oh i was just joking” backpedal.
And even reconsider long held viewpoints. I work with a classic conservative but in the past 6 years he's started to come around a little. Me, another genx standard construction worker, having a trans kid and just talking has softened his crusty ass quite a bit. Doubt it's changed his vote but he wouldn't openly disrespect my kid now
