你出来了么? Is 么 a misprint? 吗?

Mandarin Blueprint

No, this is a more casual/spoken way of communicating the same meaning. Keep an eye out for it!

Can 出来 also be used in the figurative "coming out" as a gay person? I have an image along this theme as my living link for this phrase but was curious if it can be actually used this way :)
Thanks!

No, but you can say 出柜 chūguì, which is literally "come out of the closet."
