Argyle meets Gob when he go to Quick Hard Cement to meet the Gay Mafia.

THE RISE OF THE GAY MAFIA, A POWERFUL CABAL THAT NEVER EXISTED

Argyle tells Gob that they know he is really straight, that he only me out as gay for his para trick. He says Gob has to stay gay for seven years, then they'll let him "age out.

" Argyle says this is more genero than what they did to Tony Wonr for pretendg to be gay. Sometim, the humor feels outdated, such as the troductn of a group of hard-boiled, crimal gay men who ll themselv the Gay Mafia. They f to a plotle which Gob has to pretend to be gay (or maybe he really is).

Gob has been signifintly tormented at the hands of the gay mafia. The mafia forced Gob to ntue actg as if he was gay, which he secretly was, orr to discred the sort of relig groups that claim that they n pray away the gay.

This is all lked to the Gay mafia and Tony Wonr. The paranoia over an “ternatnal homosexual nspiracy” rivaled the McCarthy munist wch hunts of the 1950s. The ia of a “gay mafia” may seem like a bad oxymoron.
