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."
