<p>Dugler: Ken Demyer</p> <hr /> <div>'''The closet''', metaphorically speaking, is a cliche used to describe a place, thing, or personal history which is purposely hidden from view, from which exposure would provide either embarrasment to the person doing the hiding or - if the object in question resulted from a criminal act - prosecution in a court of law. The term ''&quot;skeletons in the closet&quot;'' describes this metaphor. It is also used as a term within the gay community, as advocates sometimes speak of homosexuals being &quot;confined to the closet&quot; due to &quot;[[prejudice]]&quot; against them. <br /> <br /> Often there is pressure from other homosexuals for a suspected homosexual to &quot;come out of the closet&quot;. If he refuses, he is often &quot;[[outing_(homosexuality)|outed]]&quot; against his will. In many cases, the person may not be homosexual at all and his reputation is ruined.<br /> <br /> See also:<br /> <br /> *[[Deeply Closeted Homosexual]]<br /> *[[User:Conservative]]<br /> <br /> [[category:Homosexuality]]</div>
