Nope! Respect is not blindly given to anyone. Human rights, yes. Respect, no. I think we may need a refresher course on what respect means: a feeling or positive action freely given to someone because of their accomplishments, talents and/or qualities. NOT because they breathe air and take up space. You know, when we lower our expectations and require admiration for simply existing, we all lose. Respect is EARNED, don't cheapen it by trying to DEMAND it.
