The thing about being gay and closeted---gay and closeted and desperate to stay there and terrified that the people around you will figure it out---is that it leads to a lot of walking on eggshells. You wear a purple shirt one time and a teammate says that it's girly, what are you, gay?, and you laugh it off then throw the shirt away and never wear anything purple (or pink, or orange or yellow, just to be safe) again. You can sacrifice that to keep your secret, your friendships, your career safe.
One locker room joke about bands that wear eyeliner, and rookie Shane Hollander (whose buddy Joe lost a stick of liner in his car on their way to Warped Tour that summer to celebrate the start of his NHL career) panics and says he doesn't listen to music at all, ever. To keep the lie going, he stops listening to music in public for over a decade---until Harris is trying to talk to him about a social media trend and references a song Shane is too distracted to pretend he doesn't know.
