Usually used to describe a characteristic of someone who is to the right of you in the political spectrum or morally superior. When all other defenses of one's preference to have sex with other members of the same gender fails, trot out the 'intolerance' card.
Nearly a capital offense to be in possession of such; i.e., tolerance of all other religeons, races, sexual proclivities, etc., is more important than any other characteristic one may possess.

During the Miss America Pageant, When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
Carrie Prejean was sneered and booed at by the audience and confronted with such abject hate and intolerance by the audience and many liberals for her opinion that many of the gay men at the event
wondered aloud why the judges did not discriminate against her for her beliefs. The question came up as to why Carrie Prejean was not thrown out of the competition for her stand on gay marriage.
