No, you're just missing the point. Being tolerant of different beliefs does NOT imply tolerance of people who "believe" they should be able to stomp on others rights and freedoms. You have LOADS of freedom to do what you want TO YOUR SELF and those who CHOOSE TO DO THEM WITH YOU.

The difference is you want to give yourself benefits (like marriage, or the option to be in the military, or the right to build a church wherever you feel like) but you are UNWILLING to grant those rights to everyone else, and you do that under the guise of "it's my beliefs that YOU should not have those freedoms".

That's a giant wheelbarrow full of BS, and calling "libs" the hypocrites is the shovel full on top.
