Terms for revealing gay or lesbian sexual identity are surprisingly few despite the fact that coming out is an increasingly common practice in Western society.

Until you are out, you won’t know what happiness is.

—Sir Ian McKellen, actor

accept your sexuality, be brought out, come clean, declare, debut, fly the rainbow flag, discover your gender, drop a feather, drop your beads, drop your hairpins, fly the rainbow flag, go over, jump out (with both feet), jump out of the closet, lay it out, learn a new way, let your hair down, on the turn, out (to), reveal your homosexuality, show your true colours, tell the folks, turn the corner, unpin your back hair (to), wave the rainbow, wear your badge

Out (to): when a closeted celebrity is publicly revealed to be gay without their consent.
