Perhaps you could "pass" but eventually you would be found out - your birth certificate lists your race. Unless your family has been paying people off for a long long long time.
There isn't anything anywhere that states you are a homosexual (practicing or non) unless YOU say it. You can't see it when you look at someone, and even if you engage in sexual practices that gays do, it doesn't mean you are gay (i.e. prisoners).
Until it's proven without a doubt scientifically that the inclination to be gay is something you are born with - the same as you are born with blue eyes or black skin or big feet - this argument will never end.
