That's like saying that black people who don't spend all their time at work calling out people for racist things they said 22 years ago don't belong in the black community. Can't you see that tolerance means allowing everybody to have their own opinion and viewpoints, even when you think they're whack? I have plenty of neighbors (I live in California) who voted for Trump, and even though I'm a left wing hippie, I can still carry on conversations with them. Just because I'm heterosexual doesn't mean I have to agree with a "heterosexual point of view" on everything, whatever that would mean. I've known lots of lesbians over the years. Even though the thought of two women getting it on makes me think "YUCK yuck ewwwwwww", it doesn't bother me that they're gay, because it had nothing to do with why we were together. I once was part of a group that was concerned about police abuses, while I was living in Berkeley. Out of 20 women in the group (it was all women), I was the only straight one, but it just didn't matter. Our group didn't have anything to do with being gay/straight, but had to do with how the police were acting.

Sometimes it's just beside the point!
