Reply #16: I didn't say everyone could pass

[dsc]

but surely more people can pass as straight than as white. I am 38 and unmarried. I also am about the least athletic human you are going to find (I had a .000 average in t-ball for my first 23 at bats). To top it off, I have sung high second or first tenor since age 15. But even I am assumed to be straight until proven otherwise. I have known precisely one black person who wasn't assumed to be black on first sight. I am not saying I didn't know others, I might well have, but I didn't know that I knew any.
