THE GAY MOBSTER ‘SOPRANOS’ WRERS USED AS THE BASIS FOR VO SPATAFORE
He’d pched to one of the wrers after learng about a real-life gay mobster om a book he was readg, lled Murr Mache.

You talked about them rporatg real-life thgs wh the actors to the show, but the whole Vo arc where he’s gay, that was your ia, right?
And one of the characters was gay and I thought that was… I was like, “Wow, was a gay mobster. They’re so homophobic that even the portrayal of a gay man on TV they’re like, “I don’t like .
GAY ‘SOPRANOS’ MOBSTER FDS A B OF FAME
I worked a gay rtrant. If you have a problem wh gays you shouldn’t be the rtrant bs. In the episo where they disver that Vo’s gay at the leather bar, do you remember what you were thkg the first time that they me and showed you the wardrobe that you were gog to have for that?
''THE SOPRANOS'': TONY'S GAY ISSU
Of all the embarrassg moments the characters of this seri have experienced, none n have been more shameful than the disvery that Vo Spatafore, one of Tony's most loyal men, is gay.

That life will be the foc of the next few episos, and the fact that this bloodls subplot works is all due to Gannasli, whose reful performance is away om the overblown "gay gangster" ritur seen Guy Rchie's films. The subtle wrg and expert actg (not to mentn a few mercils gay jok) make as worthwhile as any other story of the show. Now that Vo's homosexualy was disvered many want him ad, Tony wants more proof.
Intertg story about homosexualy. Kill that fat bracle sucker, except for Tony who while homophobic still realiz Vo is his top earner and also realiz 's the 21st century, and mobsters maybe should let the thgs sli.
HOW GAY IS VO OM THE SOPRANOS?
Plie wants Vo's head on a silver platter (for other reasons add to him beg gay) and Phil Leotardo is shocked that his sister would marry a wise guy who is light the loafers. The word is out: Vo is fely gay.
He easily spots some gays town.
This unexpected gay subplot will ntue for several episos, and is not to everyone's tast, me clud.
