“agree to disagree” on hateful, disrespectful comments about someone’s identity? Ummm no thanks. I’m not so much into “tolerance” as acceptance. I do not “tolerate” gay people, I accept their sexuality as just another part of their personality. I dont think it defines them.

Homophobes, on the other hand, use religion/whatever else to justify hateful comments. Religion is supposed to bring unity and acceptance, not bigotry and hate. Unfortunately many people don’t see it that way.

Anyway, OP I know a lot of great kids from California that go to Boulder and they all seem fairly liberal. That might just be representative of where I live, but I’m sure you would be able to find your niche there. I don’t think it will be anywhere near as negative as the bible belt or anything. I would still urge you to do your best to afford a UC, but if you are smart enough to get into Cal/LA, I’m sure you will succeed wherever you go.
