I THINK YOU MEAN EARNING ANOTHER'S RESPECT.
YOU DO THAT VIA THINGS YOU DO.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO SOMETHING WORTHY...IE, LIKE A GROUP SUPPORTS A CHARITY OR VISITS HOSPITALS OR READS TO KIDS...POSIITIVE THINGS...YOU EARN RESPECT.
I DON'T THINK YOU EARN RESPECT BY PAINTING THE GREEN AND GOLD LETTERS PINK AND PURPLE....THE WRITER MAKES A GOOD POINT IN THAT DOING SUCH ACTS PUSHES PEOPLE AWAY RATHER THAN BRINGS THEM TO YOU.
IF THIS IS A GAY PRIDE THING I THINK THEY LOSE MORE THAN THEY GAIN HERE...THE LETTERS MEAN SOMETHING TO SOME MEMBERS OF THIS CAMPUS AND SOME WOULD CALL THIS DESECRATION OF SOMETHING HELD HIGH...YOU KNOW SCHOOL TRADITION OR WHATEVER.
