When you think about it, are not all Mafia members gay? Afterall, they hang out with each other in secret places all the time almost to the exclusion of anybody else. They don't appear to spend much time with their families. Their loyalty is to each other - all guys. In fact, they swear such loyalty, don't they? They are willing to scratch each other's eyes out for the slightest insult and they are into fancy clothes big time (ex. Gotti). They sometimes "go to the mattresses" even when they don't have to. I'm not sure, but I think we may be on to something here!
