A person who self-identifies as
heterosexual, but who, in a world free of
homophobia, would have realized that they were
homosexual a long time ago. Oddly, these people tend to be among the most
homophobic people on earth. It is commonly argued that these people know that they are
homosexual, but
think,
hope, and
pray that no one else knows.
Often abbreviated as simply "
latent", the last part assumed on the part of the listener.
