Here it means to publicly admit or announce your sexual orientation.

It is derived from the phrase 'come out of the closest'. If somebody intentionally hides or publicly denies their true nature, we say they're hiding in the closet. To come out of the closet ( or to come out) is then to admit your true nature.
