Okay, let's see if the Mafia could make these generalizations about itself. We'll use the Sopranos as a stereotypical mafia model.The authors say “a surprisingly high percentage” of pathological liars and con men are gay.
I feel safe in saying a surprisingly high percentage of pathological liars and con men are mafioso. Examples? Big Pussy---lying to Tony about being wire-tapped. Con men? Chris Moltesante with his tech stock rigging . . . Tony with his airline ticket rebate scam . . .They say gays tend to reject all forms of morality and value judgments.
Oh man, the mafia could definitely say the same thing. Just watch one scene between Tony Soprano and Dr. Malphi (sp?).They say gays suffer from a “narcissistic” personality disorder and they give this clinical description: “pathological self absorption, a need for constant attention and admiration, lack of empathy or concern for others, quickly bored, shallow, interested in fads, seductive, overemphasis on appearance, superficially charming, promiscuous, exploitative, preoccupied with remaining youthful, relationships alternate between over idealization and devaluation.”
Two Words: Christopher Moltesante. Remember when he strutted like a peacock into that knee-jerk pizza joint after he became a made man? Madonne.As an example of this narcissism, the authors say “a very sizable proportion of gay men” who have been diagnosed HIV positive continue to have unprotected sex.
Remember the guys who tried to pop Moltesante? I bet they were having unprotected sex . . . they lived together, that scene where they were hanging around in their BVDs . . .They say the majority of gays are extremely promiscuous and self-indulgent. They must continuously up the ante to achieve arousal. This begins with alcohol and drugs and includes such “forbidden” aspects of sex as wallowing in filth (fetishism and coprophilia) and sadomasochism, which involves violence.
Richie Aprile forcing the barrel of a gun into Janice Soprano's mouth while the two of them were having sex. And how many affairs has Tony had?They say many gays indulge in sex in public bathrooms and think it is antigay harassment when it is stopped. Many think they have a right to importune straight males, including children.
Okay, you've got me there. Mafia guys go to cheap hotels way out in the burbs to get their jollies.Many gays are “single minded sexual predators” fixated on youth and physical beauty alone. When it comes to the old or ugly, gays are “the real queerbashers.”
Funny, but you never see Tony, Chris, or Paulie Walnuts chasing tail that looks like Rosie O'Donnell or Penny Marshall.“Relationships between gay men don´t usually last very long.” They quickly tire of their partners and fall victim to temptation.
The whole story of the Sopranos is the story of criminal business relationships gone awry and power struggles within organizations---all based on greed and temptation.Even friendships are based on the sexual test and hard to sustain. Unattractive gay men find it nearly impossible to find a friend, let alone a lover.
"It ain't personal---it's binnes."The authors say gays tend to deny reality in various ways: wishful thinking, paranoia, illogic, emotionalism and embracing crackpot ideas.
Tony Soprano constantly denies his business activities are criminal. Instead, he sees himself as some sort of noble Roman chieftan in modern form.So there. Except for one, these generalizations could apply to the mafia as well as they could apply to homosexuals.
When was Christopher made?
So there. Except for one, these generalizations could apply to the mafia as well as they could apply to homosexuals.LOL. Damning with faint praise?
