As men and women began coming literally "out of the closet" in Western societies during the 1990s, men/women had to hide their sexual identities for generations. The results were harsh and profound when exposed. But it's important to illustrate these tendencies, demonstrate why these famous personalities who were/are homosexual and why millions still choose to stay hidden. Given their precarious positions in society. For these circumstances, it's important to show through this paper why closeted homosexuality still has a purpose. As most like to view themselves as liberals in the educational fields and in the acceptance/tolerance of different ideas, until it doesn't affect their families. Therefore, nobody can say whether it's acceptable or not. But one thing is certain, when a person is gay, it shouldn't matter their background or profession. What matters if they can do their job properly and function normally in everyday society. This is the most important fact to demonstrate. This paper will illustrate closeted homosexuality through periods in history, contemporary times and in different countries.
