Comment on Without getting in a fight. Why is it called coming out of the closest? Where did it begin? I mean why not a garagde or a bedroom or something? How did it become a reference to homosexuals?

My best guess…
From “skeletons in the closet”. Colloquially, meaning to have secrets.
I’m almost tempted to see how far back closets became common. I’d think chests or armoires would be first.
