They range across all classes, all races, all occupations. To lead their double lives these full or part-time homosexuals must "pass" as straight, and most are extremely skilled at camouflage. They can cynically tell ?or at least smile at?jokes about "queers"; they fake enjoyment when their boss throws a stag party with nude movies...
