Being open minded is being willing to give many different practices and opinions consideration.
However, this does NOT equate to tolerance. Tolerance implies being okay with people doing whatever they want. Open mindedness is only giving it consideration.
Unfortunately, many left-leaning people seem to think they're the same, and, as an insult, accuse more conservative people of being close-minded, which makes little sense.

I told her I was personally against gay marriage, because it violates natural law. So she said that I am not open minded, and called me a dirty racist conservative.

Get the absent-minded mug.When you're playing a video game and the matchmaking puts the absolute worst shitheads on your team, you have been Menked. Named after celebrity Dr. Joshua Menke, the Lead Engagement Designer for Halo 5 and all the terrible matches he's caused after implementing TrueSkill2.0. Excuses he'll use to justify the matchmaking: "Even though their rank is plat and they played like a silver, their mmr is actually onyx," "The population of that playlist was too low, so the mm expanded the parameters and just happened to put everyone bad on your team" and "It's working as intended"
Gamer1: I was doing great! Dropping a 30 bomb! But I got Menked!!!! Each teammate went neg 15! Can you believe it?
Gamer2: Yeah dude, I was getting Menked all last night. Makes me hate Halo these days...
Gamer2: Yeah dude, I was getting Menked all last night. Makes me hate Halo these days...
