Gay godfathers are scared of coming out in the Italian Mafia for fear of being ridiculed or murdered, an anti-Mob prosecutor said. Antonio Ingroia, who has helped bring several bosses to justice, said: "Being gay is still a taboo for Italian society in general, let alone the Mafia, which is an archaic organisation.
"These bosses have to cover their homosexuality; they're afraid because they risk being ridiculed and killed." Mr Ingroia said that the American Mafia had "a more broad-minded attitude towards gays and so gay bosses can come out."

Mr Ingroia: Being gay is still a taboo for Italian society
Phil Leotardo would differ.
The Homo Nostra? “Every time I think I’m out, they pull me back in.”
yep he found out
Take the pumps....leave the cannolli
The Mafia, of course, should be sued for their insensitivity and lack of diversity and tolerance.
Tell them to come to GAYsachusetts, they’ll be welcomed with open arms.....................

LOL!
He was afraid to come out of the closet
He was as nervous as he was cute
He was afraid to come out of the closet
He was afraid that somebody would shoot
One, two, three, four, tell the people what he wore
It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That he wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the closet he wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more
He was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around he wore
He was afraid to come out in the open
And so he sat bundled behind the door
Two, three, four, tell the people what he wore
It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That he wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the closet he wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more
Now he is afraid to come out in the open
Cuz he wonders what they’re gonna do
Now he’s is afraid to come out of the closet
And the poor little gay’s turning blue
Two, three, four, tell the people what he wore
It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That he wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the closet he wanted to stay
Sorry Brian!
Most of my male Italian Relatives are are outrageously heterosexual, accuse them of being a poof, death fight
[so gay bosses can come out]
I can just imagine the boss swishing into the ‘social club’ in his new dress...”Hi fellas, I’ve got something important to tell youse guy’s, I’m ga...”
This gives a whole new meaning to the term “a made man.”
Who can forget the shock on Paulie Walnut’s face when he found out Vito Spatafore was in that parked car catching not pitching.
Well, this is just amazing! Who would have guessed it? Next thing you know we’ll find out that prison gangs are racist and that Russians like vodka.
"You're not gonna have no problem from Vito, believe me." - Paulie
Did you notice that when Phil Leotardo was waiting for Vito to kill him, he was hiding in the closet? I wondered if they were saying something about Leotardo’s latent homosexual feelings that he was literally trying to “kill”. Plus they killed Vito and stuck a broomstick handle up his rear end.
In a scene that played out like a storyline from The Sopranos, a former mafia hit man told a New York court that he killed his mob boss because the man engaged in gay sex.
Anthony Capo, a former soldier for the New Jersey-based DeCavalcante family testified that he killed John “Johnny Boy” D’Amato after finding out about his secret life.
“Nobody’s gonna respect us if we have a gay homosexual boss sitting down discussing La Cosa Nostra business,” Capo said in Manhattan federal court.
D’Amato was gunned down in 1992.

Ton. When he was always talkin about greasin the union, who knew thats what he meant?

And most Italians in Italy are the most effeminate men in all of Europe. Between the tight clothes, cologne, and kissing, you would think all the men in the country were gay.
An earlier episode had Phil alluding to his sex life in prison.
Fairy Godfather?
