Supporting gay marriage and being pro-choice should only count as evidence for your open-mindness if the people you associate with (your tribe) are strongly opposed to them.
... and if most of the people you admire are also pro gay marriage and pro abortion, it is evidence that you are not open-minded.
Weak evidence though, easily overcome by being open to whatever things your tribe denounces.
admiration != agreement.
