this does not make sense, you can't have both properties be true and be talking about the same society.

For a queer person to "pass" and accept the benifits of being percieved as straight, and then turn around and participate in policies that harm people just like them...
I don't care if they've figured out that this is wrong, or what their reasons are. It's hypocrasy, pure and simple. And a harmful one at that. If you believe that you personally deserve the respect of society, but that other people do not...i'm going to call foul.

but you are presupposing that they do think they deserve the respect of society... which would be illogical if they in fact do think of their homosexuality as wrong.
