When something or someone "comes out," it means that information about them is made public or revealed. It can refer to someone's sexuality, a secret, or a new product being released. It's like when a secret is no longer a secret because everyone knows about it.
Remember that "coming out" is a personal decision and should always be respected. It's important to support and celebrate someone who chooses to share this part of themselves with the world.
