-'''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 embarrassment 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 ''"skeletons in the closet"'' describes this metaphor.  It is also used as a term within the gay community, as advocates sometimes speak of homosexuals being "confined to the closet" due to "[[prejudice]]" against them.

-Often there is pressure from other homosexuals for a suspected homosexual to "come out of the closet". If he refuses, he is often "[[outing (homosexuality)|outed]]" against his will. In many cases, the person may not be homosexual at all and his reputation is ruined.
