In both American and Brazilian contexts, 'coming out' in the LGBTQ+ sense has become an important cultural milestone and is often celebrated. The phrase 'sair do armário' (literally 'coming out of the closet') is widely used in Brazil and reflects growing LGBTQ+ visibility and acceptance, though challenges remain in more conservative regions. The term has also been reclaimed as a positive affirmation of identity. The debutante ball meaning is largely historical in contemporary usage.
