How I see it is moral subjectivism is about feelings and preferences determining what's individually or universally right and wrong. Relativism is about accepting that the moral standards of other individuals or cultures should be respected no matter what.
So, if the man living next door to you decides that an honor killing is necessary because his teenage daughter walked out to the mailbox without a male escort and without wearing her burqa, are you gonna respect his culture "no matter what"?
You didn't read what I said in the quote, did you?
