We are grateful for the opportunity to respond to the five commentaries regarding our Target Article. The Target Article proposed a model summarizing accumulating research on the closet—the period during which one recognizes their sexual minority identity, but has not disclosed it to anyone significant in their life—and its varied and potentially farreaching after-effects across the lifespan, as influenced by the context of disclosure. We also proposed a series of testable hypotheses and several future, intervention-related research directions that, taken together, may shepherd in a new era of research on the lifespan-persistent mental health effects of the closet. In this reply, we respond to the five commentaries and their implications for future research and conceptualizations of the closet.
