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.
