I think tolerance is also part of it in casual relationship. I believe the question comes in sharing an actual life with another and how different religious faiths define such a relationship and the roles within it.
I think, for alot of Christians, there is ONE scripture which says not to be unequally yoked. I know that verse is interpreted many ways with different people
Even if one is tolerant of others behaviors, they may not want to try to share their life and navigate if those behaviors will become a regular part of their life and/or contrast with the behaviors their faith encourages. That same scripture told husbands not to sleep with their wives as well, but many miss that. It was for a specific people facing a specific crisis. But that is only the way I read it, when I considered the full context.
For me, it is about what I can 'control', which is MY own behavior and no one else.
For me, if a partner will not in any way prevent or oppose me living my values, and they are living with the behaviors and values that compliment each other, whatever they feel the source may be, I cant see a reason to object to a male and female living their life together.
