If it's a totally subjective opinion, no. You can like food I don't, or even have kinks I don't.

If it's even slightly fact-based, kind of yes, unless you keep it entirely to yourself. I don't have to agree with it to respect it, though, if you have any reasonable kind of argument.

Like someone else said, in practice nobody actually cares what I respect.
