I don't know how well known this story is or how much insight you guys have, but there was actually a homosexual associate of the Vario Crew named "Frankie The Fag" who was apparently good friends with Henry Hill. I don't mean to be derogatory by using that word. That was his actual street name. There have been a couple Henry Hill interviews where he mentioned being close to this guy Frankie. I remember during one Howard Stern interview a frequent caller named Paulie who was connected was breaking Henry's balls about being friends with "fags" and Henry defended him saying "I loved fag. He was a nice guy."

That got me thinking, does anyone know who this Frankie character actually was, and how did a known homosexual make it as a mob associate in the Lucchese Family? Were there any other homosexual mobsters, made or not? It seems like something that would be strongly opposed and even enough to get you whacked in some families.
