BARRY’S NOHO HANK: JT ANOTHER A SERI OF GAY TELEVISN MOBSTERS
I gus wasn't too much of a surprise when NoHo Hank, an unsavory character om the h HBO seri Barry, was revealed to be gay. He is also a thls killer, and while he across fun-lovgly, he's anythg revelatn that he was gay was treated as no big al by tle character Barry, played brilliantly by Bill Har, who also -created the show.
Har's Barry is a hired h man, so his teractns wh Hank are not only edic but vlent, or rooted nfirmed my spicns -- my gaydar went off wh him season 1 -- that he was gay when he was outed the season 3 opener.
His sexualy is prented wh a touch of flamboyance and sills, jt like the other attribut of his mob boss beg gay got me thkg about other mob, rtel, or gang members on other h televisn shows who are gay too and how their sexualy is more matter-of-fact and not sensatnalized.
‘BARRY’ STARS ANTHONY CARRIGAN AND MICHAEL IRBY ON PLAYG THE CUTT GAY MOBSTER COUPLE ON TV
Beg gay is treated a way that do not dimish their menacg nduct or their masculy.
Pacho, a Colombian portrayed the show by Argentian actor Alberto Ammann, was head of distributn and secury for the Cali dg also happened to be gay. The fact that Mickey is an obnox, cel jerk who, aga, happens to be gay, was part of what ma him so -- well, I'll jt say , shamels. Another gay neighborhood crimal was om HBO's blood-soaked seri The Wire.

The fact that all the men were gay was treated as a given.
They were villas first, and y, some episos of each seri voted storyl to the fact that they were gay, but at the end of the day, wasn't a big al. However, what sets Gannasli's character apart om the others is that when Vo was outed as gay the seri almost 20 years ago, was not only a major twist on the show but was also big news pop culture. A mob character who was gay?
Now, that was uld say that Vo was the "Godfather" of gay mafsi on televisn.
