Some of the femme boys and butch girls I know could no more "pass" than could Malcom X or Foxy Brown.

And what of transgendered people? Often, their very safety often depends on "passing" and those who don't have been murdered for it.

Regardless, what does the issue of "passing" have to do with equal rights? Because a gay person can more easily hide their minority status, even if forced to do so by a homophobic society, that somehow lessens or negates their right to be who they are openly and treated as equal?
