As a formerly deeply-closeted gay teen, I'm confident that currently-closeted youngsters will consciously avoid performing such a search in a public place.
That's what being closeted is: it's more than just not telling people you're gay/bi/etc. It's about actively managing and monitoring others' perception of you, and the mortal dread of being found out.
- octo_t 13y agoSpeaking as a formerly closeted person, this is an exact thing I did in school because I didn't want my parents to find out, since they are deeply Christian.

- charonn0 13y agoAs a formerly deeply-closeted gay teen Should have been "former". I haven't been a teen for quite a while now.
- dag11 13y agoI can back this up. Being in the closet is by no means passive.
