in the closet with the light on 

When someone is homosexual but for whatever reason will not tell others and often pretend to be straight, though it is obvious to everyone around them they are not be straight due to social cues and stereotypical ways of dressing or acting around those of the same sex. Though they may be in the closet, it is obvious to everyone as the light in the closet gives away their presence within the otherwise dark walls of denial.

Observer 1:"Hey did you see the way she was flirting with all of those girls at the softball game yesterday?"
Observer 2: "Yeah I guess but doesn't she consider herself straight?"
Observer 1: "I'm not too sure about that, I'd say she is in the closet with the light on."

Example 2: Kristen Stewart.

In the closet syndrome 

When someone has been closeted from their gayness for so long they end up getting time confused

Yo Jaxon thought it was 12:36am last night when it was clearly 1:36am, I think he has in the closet syndrome.

Skeletons in the closet

Secrets and several other past memories that you prefer not to talk about with anyone else. This can range from one-night stands to betraying a best friend to as much as killing someone. However, "skeletal" moments don't just have to do with only dark pasts. It can also be about embarrassing moments you've had that you simply feel too awful to speak of.

Someone with barely any or no skeletons in the closet can make it far in a large corporation.

Being married has taught me that if I don't clean up the skeletons in the closet sooner than I should can have abrupt consequences.
