Adjective
1. Making no effort to hide your
flaming homosexuality but labeling yourself "straight" and acting as if
nobody (including your wife) notices. Often found in southern politicians and evangelicals like Sen. Lindsey Graham and Marcus "Ladybird" Bachmann.
An openly closeted
man makes no effort to hide his flaming homosexuality, yet claims to be straight.
"Did you see Marcus tweeting about making cookies during a Golden Girls marathon last night? You think his wife knows she's married to a gay
guy?"
"Nah. He's openly closeted, and she thinks he's the perfect
man."
