每天三分鐘學英語 第205期:英文"出櫃"怎麼說
情景對話：
Claire: Well, hello. How was your first day back in the closet …business?
Mitch: That doesn't make any sense. I've never worked here before.
Claire: It's just a gay joke, Mitchell. Don't overthink it. You settling in?
今日知識點：
in the closet 未出櫃的人
Most gay men had to stay in the closet back in those days because society looked down on homosexuality.
大多數同性戀以前都不會公開，因爲社會歧視同性戀。

我大學纔出櫃，那是我生命中最重要的一步。
