And what is the non-fallacy answer? Intolerance?

The non-fallacy answer is that there is nothing compelling you to work out an accommodation with other people other than personal preference, regardless of what that preference is informed from. We don't HAVE to do anything. You can be tolerant, intolerant, or any level inbetween. It's entirely up to you. But there is no "have to" involved in it.

Once you recognize that, you can understand why others don't feel they have to work out an accommodation. Once you eliminate "have to" as a compelling premise, other's actions become understandable. There's no guideline, no force, no law of nature or physics that requires it.

That's true for any particular individual, but society effectively comes up with one answer or another, whether pluralism or intolerance.

Society is nothing more than the collective response of the individuals involved in the society, with more weight being given to the opinions of those with power and influence. There is no "have to" involved in that either; it's whatever the society in question wants or feels like or randomly chose that day.
