If someone told you they were a 'deeply closeted' gay person, but they aren't coming out though, what would you think?

[Still-alive]

Congratulate them for their bravery of admitting they are gay, although deeply closeted

wait... but doesn't that mean they just came out?

Say 'it's alright, feel free to stay in there as long as you like'

I will make sure i spread the word how really NOT gay they are

just laugh

be confused

other reaction (say what yours would be)

[wiltingrosepetal]

I would think 'Okay. Cool. You do you' and go on with my life.

Also, yes a person can still be closeted, even if they share their sexuality with friends. Growing up gen z meant 50-70% of my friends told me they were LGBT. They could only be 'out' if they told their parents, though. Telling a friend is nothing like telling family members, the workplace, social media, etc

I would be confused. It sounds like they want to say they're gay, but they same time they don't want to.

Thank you for the MHO.

[WhitneySnow]

That’s absolutely their right. Why would I laugh at them?

[Still-alive]

Its a joke norm told looks like most aren’t getting. The key phrase is ‘deeply closeted’ yet he's telling the world about it

[WhitneySnow]

I get it, but you can still be deeply closeted but tell one person. It is funny though lol.

[WhitneySnow]

Of course he did tell the world on TV…

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

He would not be the first person to share me that. People easily trust me with their secrets.

I’d tell him “Thanks for trusting me with this. I am with you in whatever you choose to do.”

[handsomelad70]

Their choice, especially with the resurgent homophobia being incited by far rightists today.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Just laugh and move on

[Wiredone]

That is just so f'ed up.

[Wiredone]

He's a weird guy to begin with
