For me personally, its a matter of responsibility. I have to look out for my wife and children. I have a familly to provide for, and I can't risk losing my job, or public humiliation. My wife and parents already know, and I will tell my kids at some point. I already go out with a few girlfriends from time to time. Otherwise I have nothing to gain from being out to the world. And there is too much at stake for me to risk it. So for now, the closet is ok for me.
