Even Christians should believe in teaching "respect" for others even if you don't agree with them or think they're wrong.

Some people believe that sodomy is an unacceptible and harmful practice. Why should we respect those that practice and proselytize such behavior?

Because some people think that basing your entire belief system on ancient Near Eastern mythologies is silly why should we respect those people who annoy others with their silly beliefs? But seriously, there is a difference between tolerance or respect and acceptance. If you think same-sex sex is wrong, then fine, you can still respect people as people without accepting everything they do.

A lot of people who are promoting acceptance of sodomy also are against smoking and fast food - which take far fewer years off one's lifespan.
