I think you two are using "intolerant" in different ways. There is a general state of intolerance, a mindset whereby one is given to a belief that others are wrong by virtue of birth, creed, or other state of being, which Westboro and others fit quite well, and then there is a specific act of intolerance, which is to actively stifle the views of another, acts that the bikers of the given example probably partake in. I think these are two separate definitions, and can't really be directly compared, as you don't agree in language but, it seems, you may agree in principle.
