Is "closeted" queer language? I've never found consistent etymology or history of the word, but language is obviously driven by society. I really hope I haven't been offending my friends throwing around that word all William-Nilliam... I'm not the most tapped-in person to culture, and even then, I'm unbelievably slow to catch on.

Ya a quick read not too many other things have ever really used the language in such a consistent way.
