DOMA and Prop 8. Both History.

I guess I've never used respect as such a "finite" term to only express one thing.

I can respect a person for being a great human being.
I can respect a person for their talent
I can respect a decision. Even if I may not agree with it.

I've tried to be as clear as possible. I don't respect the Biebs as a person. I think he's a little brat, who has surrounded himself with yes "kids", who go along with his idiocy. But, I do respect his talent. Just like I respect the talent and dedication of athletes who have driven themselves to be the very best at what they do. I may not respect Lebron James' decision to have "the decision" tv program, but I respect him as an athlete.

There is a difference.
