This reminds me of the question of whether one can be both a tolerant person and intolerant of intolerance.

Very good question and not a simple one. My stab at it is that you should be tolerant of a certain level of intolerance but not tolerant of violent or abusive actions motivated by intolerance.

My understanding of the point of having a word like "homophobe" is to draw a line between tolerance and
intolerance.

I think it is also applied to those who are tolerant of homosexuals but who feel negatively about it.
