We could not blame them. There are places where gays are not accepted and they have no choice but to keep in the hide. Or they may have some other reasons why coming out is not an option for them.

Considering that these gays are NOT pretentious and/or cowards in situations like this. It's hard to walk in their shoes because they struggle to live like they're just regular people but with the rational fear of hatred and any forms of abuse that are bound to happen any time soon if they get caught.
A. They are NOT coward, and B. They are NOT pretentious as well, closeted gays exist because of judgmental people who can't stick their nose on their own shit. I was once closeted when I was young and it took me months when I convinced myself to finally come out of my shell. It was fine for me but to some, I was mocked, and I get to see who truly loves and accepts me. I'm not a coward or a pretentious kid after all.
JayKay yes I no longer have to hide who I am but the process was not easy. Being at the center of humiliation and judgement is not an easy thing to overcome. But this world has become a better place to live and show who we really are. Acceptance by the public is really big now a days.
What makes them coward? Simple, it's the fear of discrimination, harassment, and other abuses that would lead to being pretentious. As to pretending that you are straight when you're actually gay. What I hate about it is that we are in denial of ourselves and feel left out. We must keep in mind that we are not alone, and that someone out there could help us feel more comfortable of ourselves.
Honestly, it's sometimes hard to reach out to others if they wanted to isolate themselves. But all in all, it takes a lot of patience and understanding, saving lives could be draining and sometimes you wouldn't even notice that you need a little saving too.
There are many gay men who are in this situation in countries where homosexuality is illegal. Just imagine all the hardships of emotions for their repressed true feelings.
I could call them as pretentious. Why pretend for something which you are not? Why claim to be a man when you are really gay? Why not just say to the world that you are gay? Be gay and be proud of it.
LumberJacked Well, I got your point. I know that there are some countries where you could not come. That your life would be at risk if you do. But, actually, I am not referring about them. I am talking about the people who are living in the free world.
MannaMontana Of course, I have thought of that. It is just that they are living in a fake world when they do not come out in the open. I had read about this married man so had been thinking of men since he was 9 years old. A married man who never came out. Well, that was a torture on his self.
Not sure what you mean by doing some hidden activities? I think that everybody (straight, gay, closeted, etc...) do things that they rather keep in private
I think it is totally unfair for yourself if you keep on hiding. how can you achieve real happiness if you won't even let yourself be free. everyone deserves to be free right? @freezy
I really understand those people who keep hiding their closet. I know that they are afraid of what others are gonna say. and you know society is so mean.
hmmpp reading all your comments makes me thing why would someone still say on the closet when there are too many people who actually cares. Thanks Folks!
how old were you when you came out? were you accepted right away? my parents were divorced and it was just me and my Nana. Had no problem telling her I was gay. she was even happy lol
Artoo grannies are always the best.. they will always love you no matter what and they always have your back. My Nana loved me best in the world. sad she passed away
hmmpp yes I agree but are they not fooling themselves too? trying to hide but eventually fucking a dick at the sideways? are all closet gays not fucking guys?
