The closet, metaphorically speaking, is the place where homosexuals conduct their illicit sexual activities. 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 "outed" against his will. In many cases, the person may not be homosexual at all and his reputation is ruined.
