Which Gangster Characters Would of Had Gay Relations in Prison?


Tony insinuates to Carlo in Season 6a that Vito isn't the first mobster to be gay, due to other guys they know having served long prison sentences. For that reason they "get a pass" as he mentions to Melfi later in the episode. So which characters do you think Tony could of been inferring to?

My picks are:

Obviously Phil Leotardo, although most likeky unknown to Tony. This is due to Phil's obsessive homophobia and hint of arousal as Vito is beaten to death in front of him. Also, the symbolic shot of him emerging from the closet to murder Vito.

Richie Aprile. His reluntance to get a blow job from the strippers at the Bing, his staring at women's underwear at the mall before being confronted by Tony for the Beansie incident (indicating sexual confusion), and his violent reaction towards the notion of his son being gay. He had also disowned his son for being gay, and seems to only like making it with Janice when he has a gun pointed to her head...Could he also be reliving a prison experience of being sodomized in this manner?

Angelo Garepe and Tony B. Less certain of this one but have heard theories due to the closeness of their relationship and Tony B emotional reaction to Angelo being wacked. Although this could easily be excused as the product of a father/son relationship and Tony B's violent temper.

Ralph Ciferetto. Without a doubt only able to be aroused by women through pain, humiliation, and the use of dildos on his behind. He's often also seen touching other men while Jackie Jr had him pegged as a "secret fag". Lastly, was seen sexually abusing Tracee in the backroom of the Bing with a cop. Despite all that, it seems he never spent time in prison.

Phil Leotardo was blatantly in the closet. His pure rage at Vito all but confirms it. Hell, Chase even had a shot of Phil walking out of a closet as Vito got whacked.

Isn't that supposed to have been because of being sexually abused by his mother, which is implied in Ralph's penultimate episode?

OP: I disagree with one thing you said about Richie. ā€œHe had also disowned his son for being gayā€. This is what a normalā€¦..not ā€œclosetedā€ father would say. A man like Richie or any guy like him would be pissed off about a kid being gay. THIS is why this show couldnā€™t be made today with all the liberal crybabies out there.

reply

Please. Richie was clearly a repressed homosexual just like the majority of homophobes.

homos these days are fighting for right to dress up in drag around kids. everyone with a singular brain cell is homophobic now

Yikes...

I thought you wanted a truthful answerā€¦

There's nothing normal about a father disowning their son for being gay. I don't know what cave you're living in. Perhaps you'd like it better in Afghanistan under the Taliban?

And I wasn't asking for your "stance" on homosexuality.

reply

Congratulations to the liberals! The more and more they shove homosexuality in our faces, the more it becomes apparent that homosexuality is a mental disorder. 20 years ago we didnā€™t see this shit so much in public. People did what they did behind closed doors and we didnā€™t care but, then Obama the Out and Proud POTUS couldnā€™t leave well enough alone. If you want to be gay, we donā€™t care, just keep it to yourselves and donā€™t corrupt our kids with your bullshit.

I have zero problems with what Richie did and go fuck yourself if you donā€™t like it. Afghanistan wonā€™t work for me. I donā€™t like terrorists.

Also, you asked a question on a public forum, you have NO RIGHT getting upset with answers that differ from yours. Have a Kleenex there, sweetie!

reply

Except you are a Republikkkan White Supremacist terrorist lover, and the equivalent of the Taliban. You even call yourself "OneManArmy" šŸ¤Ŗ

I didn't ask for your repressed homophobic caveman views that you can't help from expressing. It's quite apparent that you spend a whole lot of time thinking about gays... šŸ¤”

You sound like you need a Kleenex after having "homosexuality shoved in your face", and not for wiping up tears by the way...

We're done here, you repulsive creature.

reply

Itā€™s better than being a racist/anti-Semitic DemoKKKrat! Also, Iā€™m not white according to the hate groups that you mentioned. ā€œOneMamArmyā€ is just a screen name, means nothing.

This is a public forum, anyone can answer, Mary. Like I said, homosexuality is everywhere you look. On tv, in the streets in public schools/libraries. Visit a blue city one dayā€¦.

reply

You'll never feel like a "man" no matter how much you shriek and cry over gays holding hands in libraries or whatever the fuck you're on about.

reply

Itā€™s faggot loving jerkoffs like you that make me glad there is an ignore buttonā€¦.

Interesting typo...šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
