I came across this recently and thought it was a super interesting and thorough examination of "the closet" or "coming out" of it.

I've been told several times "ah yeah I had kinda guessed" as a bi dude. Literally no idea how you could tell, considering I look the same as before I figured myself out.

Our environment has those things figured out more quickly than we ourselves.

They look from the outside in and a closet is easy to spot. But inside the closet it is dark.
