No its not acceptance. Life is about choices. Respecting peoples choice, good or bad, immoral or unethical, ethical and moral, or even criminal, isn't acceptance its recognition. Once recognized its up to the law or the social norms in a particular culture of a society to determine its affect on how people treat one another.
We may not like many of the laws or social norms of a society or culture but we obey them as a civil duty. In any society no person is an island we are all part of a community link together. Norms change and cultures evolves but its the direction of the evolution which will always be in contention. Ok!
I know, I know, more BM rantings.
