Meaning of closetiness | Babel Free

Noun CEFR C1

Definitions

The fact of being closety; reticence or secrecy about one's homosexuality.

uncountable

Examples

“The admitted ("committed" or "overt") homosexual is far more exotic, controversial and threatening to the traditional psychoanalyst than one who exhibits the more familiar ego-dystonicity, however severe, even if that dystonicity is arguably cultural in origin. Closetyness can be tolerated in a way that an "uppity" positive and proud attitude will not be.”
