I think tony is not thinking in terms of black & white but rather the "green" -- he could care less about vito's sexuality, he only cares about the money, which is why he replaced vito with that new construction guy... i think tony is a smart business man and following the road of logic... watch tony help develop vito's role as capo of his own family in a gay community like the one he is in self-exile now... i can just see him running that antique shop and starting gay porn rings, male prostitutes, etc etc etc... just makes more sense than having him whacked because of his sexuality... ask yourself, if someone on your sales team made you a million dollars a year, would you fire him because he was gay? I realize there is a "code of honor" here, and that is what throws a wrench into the works...
