The Sopranos: How the 'Mob' deals with a gay member
YouTube ^ | Aug 7 | RandFan

Posted on 08/07/2021 5:33:15 PM PDT by RandFan

I'm a Sopranos fan and there is movie prequel coming out this fall following the early life of Tony Soprano in the 60's which has been getting rave reviews.

I've been watching some classic clips on YouTube and one memorable storyline I thought I'd share is how the Mob deals with a member who they find out is a homosexual (Vito).

The Mob are old school so you can imagine their not happy!

These short clips relive the story:

Sopranos: New York kills Vito for being Gay

I cannot wait for the new movie to come out later this year and will be going to the cinema for the first time in years to see it.

RIP James Gandolfini one of the finest actors ever in my opinion.

That’s one aspect of The Sopranos that went really really bad. They wasted way too much time on Vito‘s character and him going up to New Hampshire.

His open buttcheek chaps grossed me out.

I felt the most for Paulie. How much more betrayal could that man take!?

There should be short series about Pauli’s
experience as head of Jersey.

I seem to recall that there were a few New York guys left to get whacked....or was there.

Everyone got whack but Paulie and Carmine JR

The scene where Vito gets whacked also features Phil coming out of the closet.

Sometimes coming out of the closet isn't what you think it is

The prequel has the son of James Gandolfini playing the role.

If mafioso really are the solid hetero males portrayed in movies, why would any of them embark on a career that offered such high chance of their being denied access to women for extended periods of time?

A depraved mind is a depraved mind. Henry Hill of Goodfellas" fame was reportedly bi-sexual. Whitey Bulger was bisexual. I'm sure the list goes on and on. A depreved mind will seek gratification in any way it can.

Any anti-gay position by mafioso is probably closer to that of the top Nazis.

Phil Leotardo spent 20 years in the can and never knew about that special dispensation.

More like a heavily Jersey accented “Ohhhoooo!”. Only saw a few episodes of the show, but that one I remember. And the broom handle resolution in a later one.
