You don't have to invite ppl in pillow cases into your house, no. And yes, prejudices are a right. Imposing on others is not.

Ppl who wear pillowcases don't tend to wait for an invitation Not imposing certain prejudices is the essence of moral relativity

Is it?Can't I have a consistent, universal moral framework which lets ppl do what they want as long as it doesn't harm others?

Yes, I know. But I don't have to find sacred what other ppl do.eg religion. I find liberal, secular democracy sacred.

I don't know what you mean. How are they agreed but not shared? We set up liberal democracies by consensus?
