Dictionary

To be ‘out’ means that someone has publicly disclosed their Queer identity to friends, family, work colleagues, etc.; from the term out of the closet as opposed to being in the closet; and as such, is popularly known as being out and proud, following the process of “coming out“.

However, people can be out in some respects, but not others, e.g. having come out to one’s family and friends, but not their work colleagues.
