Homosexuals who try to pass as "straight" are sometimes referred to as "in the closet". If their secret is exposed, they are no longer "in the closet", they're "out" of the closet - hence, they've been "outed".
The term has come into wider use to describe the general act of a secret being exposed, usually (but not always) against the will of the person or organization with the (former) secret.
