Schrödinger’s Closet 

When your out to most people but have enough plausible deniability to stay out of deep shit when the conservative relatives come for Thanksgiving
I’m out to most people but not parts of my family.
That’s called Schrödinger’s Closet

Schrödinger's Closet 

The act of a LGBTQ+ community member of coming.
The Schrödinger part is if the others act homophobic, the LGBTQ+ member can say it was a joke.
Person 1: Hey, how do I come out to my friends?
Person 2: Pull off a Schrödinger's Closet, works even better during April's Fools Day

Short hand for explaining your status of being "out" as a member of the LGBTQ+ Community.
When you are out to many people in your personal life but not "officially" out
Person you are out to: I thought you were out? Everyone we know, knows you are 💅

You: I'm out but I'm not, I have a giant pride flag in my dorm room and I'm fine with people assuming and I'm out to most of our (nonhomophobic) friends but if people ask and I don't know where they stand I would actively deny it because of fear of consequences. I call it "shrodingers closet"
