May 1, 2003 -- A Mafia turncoat told a stunned courtroom yesterday how he gunned down his mob boss - because he was gay. Former DeCavalcante soldier Anthony Capo said the New Jersey-based family - often described as the real-life "Sopranos" - feared they would be the laughing stock of the New York underworld if their acting boss, John "Johnny Boy" D'Amato was outted.

It's even worse than Uncle Junior eating sushi instead of baccala.

Exactly.

he couldn't be acting that way

Alright. If Johnny D'Amato doesn't replace Mathew Sheppard as the new media poster boy for Properly Propagandized Outrage, then I'm gonna get suspicious that they actually had some kind of agenda or something (ya know Katie Couric & company).

I think NBC & other media outlets should do w/what they did w/Shepard: Bring on the Shepard family. What they could do in D'Amato's case is bring on the boss' girlfriend, Kelly, who could talk all about the swing clubs they went to.

That should hit home w/middle America.

That explains the makeover on my place. Did you ever try and restore pink flowered wall paper to chipping old paint. I mean, I liked it the way it was. I used to like to bring home young ladies who would just drool to take over the domestic part of my life.

they obviously do ask and do tell.


The family is not part of the "gay mafia". Watch for GLSn to have an outreach program for the young boys of itallian decent.

Also were afraid of having to listen to Barbara Streisand.

Then it was a clear cut case of justifiable homicide.

I shudder to think of how many FReepers I've seen on these destroy-all-gays threads would relish, would positively enjoy, being in Capo's position. And heavily armed, to boot.

After nearly fifty comments, nobody inveighs in this thread against murder as such, I see, when it's aimed at a gay man (in or out of La Cosa Nostra). It's just a matter of juvenile sniggering about "swishes." I guess the preservation of life only counts, to some of you supposed Christians, when it's insentient one-day-old tissue in the womb -- right?

The original headline, a NY Post classic, is:

MOBSTER SLEEPS WITH THE SWISHES

"Nobody's gonna respect us if we have a 'gay homosexual' boss sitting down discussing La Cosa Nostra business,"

That would make him straight I suppose?

1. relax, lighten up
2. a group engaged in illegal activity does an illegal thing, does not need elaboration.
3. could you not see the humor of arguing FOR pc sexual behavior diversity in THE MAFIA.
4. so they have an extreme way of exercising their first ammendment right of association.
5. relax, lighten up.

No one sheds any tears over the death of a mob hood. Gay or straight.

Now on with the comedy....

In a mob bar, you get the kiss of death....in a gay bar, you just get kissed...

And join the rest of the bigots for a cigar? In the one category of such prejudice that Jim Robinson still permits, nay, encourages around here? No, thank you.
