Even if it is made legal there's going to be a lot of people who aren't comfortable with it for various reasons. It could be due to their own experiences or it could be because they don't want to cross paths with some of the negative baggage and risks that come with the line of work. It could even be due to their religious beliefs.
Should basic respect be shown to those who happen to be in the trade itself? I'd like to think the answer is 'yes'. I don't believe, however, that people should be forced to accept it and never, ever pass judgement.
I don't particularly like the culture that surrounds alcohol. I grew up with an abusive father and saw what the substance did to him. Situations where people consume alcohol with the intent to get drunk make me uncomfortable. I wouldn't demand that they don't drink it - but that doesn't mean I'm not going to distance myself from that sort of crowd. Many people are in the same boat when it comes to 'sex-workers' - they aren't comfortable with it and don't want to get involved with it.
