Oh, I have the most sincere respect - not for your opinion, which is bollocks, but for your right to hold it. Say it, even. However, if I may draw an analogy:
Let's say there are two sports in the world, baseball and cricket. Some people like baseball. Some people like cricket. Some people like both, and others neither. Like all right-thinking Americans, I love baseball and abhor cricket. No doubt there are people, probably English, who disagree. All is well so far. We disagree, but we can have a basic respect for the other side's ability to hold to its opinions.
But now let's say for the sake of analogy that the baseball-lovers come to power in the US, as is good and righteous, and they pass laws suppressing cricket. Maybe they don't ban it outright, say, but now two cricket-lovers cannot come together in marriage. All marriages must be duly blessed by the light of baseball. (I realize this is a slightly silly metaphor, but work with me.) Cricket fans aren't necessarily barred from work, or from owning a home, or from social events, but the government will look the other way if baseball fans do all of these things to them.
I think you can agree that on a certain fundamental level, the behavior of the government in this scenario is not conducted with respect towards the rights of cricket-lovers.
So my counter to your request for respect would be: you first. Demonstrate the respect of others' views that you feel you deserve, and you will receive it in turn. Don't, and you won't.
