comes out
Exits into view
Comes out is the phrasal verb for emerging or being released: The sun comes out after the storm, Her new album comes out next month.
When something comes out, it becomes known or visible: The truth always comes out.
A stain that comes out can be removed.
Most distinctively, to come out means to publicly acknowledge being gay, lesbian, or otherwise LGBTQ+: She came out to her parents last year.
This sense has extended to revealing any previously hidden identity or preference: He finally came out as a baseball fan.
