Examples of closeted in a Sentence

1. Ellen Page:

   If I was still closeted I wouldn’t be making this show, and let’s think about how much that limits people, or limits people of all minorities who are not given opportunities to create work, we do a job that’s about telling stories — obviously it’s becoming clear that we can’t just be telling stories about one group of people. People need to have opportunity; that’s what’s going to make the whole industry grow and blossom. As a person who’s involved with it and as a person who’s an audience member, I really hope that starts to happen.

5. Beth Brooke-Marciniak:

   I mean, so many of our women are former athletes and yet no one was talking about it and no one knew it, i think the women who are former athletes have undervalued their own experience. It's almost like they're closeted athletes now and so I think we can help create those networks. They're there because there are so many former athletes.
