For the same reason we tolerate gays, transgenders, sun god worshipers, communists, etc. This is America and we recognize the rights of minorities, that's why we "tolerate" them.
I find it pretty easy to tolerate most groups, big or small, mainstream or fringe. I have even fought for those groups right to speak freely (something a lot of people with green or purple hair can't claim). Where I have difficulty is when I'm expected to advocate for a group I don't believe in. If I fall to fully advocate for theses outliers I'm a biggot.

I again call bs.
