closet case

is a person that is in the closet who either doesn’t realize he/she is gay but is questioning his/her sexuality intensely, knew he/she is gay but can’t come to terms with it, or a person that has come to terms with their sexuality but was fearful of possible social repercussions of being gay

Jimmy was a closet case because before he came out, he had trouble realizing that he was gay.
