It's really more about just being known here.
Back in the early 1980's, it was socially acceptable to bash homosexuals for being homosexual. Those who were homosexual at the time were just starting to come out of the woodwork. What he's really saying here is that if the people saw him in person, would they still accept him, since it was pretty obvious from looking at him that he was gay.
PS everyone who says this is called "The Nomi Song" is correct.
