    Just curious, I think I read it on this website or another.

    I have looked at it a few different ways and now it makes me wonder what was meant when it was originally written.

    "So far in the closet that Im about to fall out of the other side"

    I've never heard it used to describe the person whose saying it before. It's more commonly seen directed at somebody else, so "He's so far in the closet he's going to fall out the other side" - in other words, he acts in such a way that you would be blind NOT to notice it (flirting with other guys, staring at guys butts) while shouting at the top of his lungs "I AM NOT GAY! SEE I GET ALL KINDS OF BONERS ABOUT GIRL PARTS!"

    I suppose you COULD use it the way you wrote it...although it might change the meaning a bit...I suppose if you were still technically in but amazed that nobody else had noticed...
