It means the same as tolerate.

allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that one does not necessarily like or agree with) without interference.

[Marian Webster]
Condone means that you approve of whatever the action is
Tolerate means that you put up with it, even though you don't approve of it.

You may twist the wording all you wish to make it suit your purpose, but you can't change the meaning. Basically, red paint and blue paint are both paint but they aren't the same. Males and females are both people but they are not both the same. So, when you attempt to make tolerate and condone to be the same by using similar descriptors, you are only making a fool of yourself. That is hardly convincing.

So, by telling one that he/she is a bigot because they tolerate, you will only alienate.

Condone is to approve and Tolerate is to allow when you don't approve. If you cannot be satisfied with tolerance of your lifestyle when the majority of America disapproves of it, then you are stupid. You cannot force acceptance, but have forced/mandated tolerance.

I don't know how you got off the subject of this thread. There is other threads that address the gay issue. This is about products made in America. This is just another example of someone stretching tolerance to the limits.
