You are conflating tolerance with approval. There's a spectrum of attitudes one might have towards any particular group of people. Here they are with most friendly on the left and most unfriendly on the right:
Kinship -- Friendship -- Approval -- Tolerance -- Disapproval -- Distrust -- Fear -- Hatred
Tolerance is the acceptance or putting up with something that one doesn't approve of. Institutionally (and broadly among individuals) the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is tolerant of LGBT people, but it doesn't not approve of LGBT lifestyles. It sounds like you want more than tolerance. In a pluralistic society, I don't think that is a reasonable position to take.
In a modern society, people who discriminate against others about their gender or orientation are called bigots. I'm fine with calling LDS that.
The religion's teachings expressly prohibit discrimination on any basis. Seems to me the only bigot here is you.
They very clearly say they disallow gay people from taking full part in the church. But ok, keep defending Mormons bigot.
