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."
