Thats bullshit, maybe there’s one fag or two scattered in Italy because there’s so many guys over there, but nobody that’s openly gay is respected as a mobster, no matter what some stupid article says. There may be closeted or bi guys but no I’m here and queer types

That article refers to the Calabrian mafia (lower case mafia), not the Sicilian Mafia. The Calabrian mafia is the 'Ndrangheta. In Italy all Italian organized crime groups are called mafia.

I know that , And I remember an article written years back about the "New" Sicilian bosses who were younger and in the article it had a part that was written about there being Gays amongst the Younger and New sicilian bosses being Metrosexual and Bi and some who were thought to be living a Homosexual lifestyle . I'd like , Or hope to find the article where it was about 2 pages and written in all italian with a followup, Or collaboration written in English in .....I think it was the Guardian ? But, There have been articles written over the last few years of Made members of different Mafia groups who were Bisexual or constantly dressed up in Drag

What load of BS that article is.

"Gays can be accepted now, even as foot soldiers, so long as they don’t parade it in public."

Does anyone really believe that?

There have been literally two or three articles, including this one, over the past 15 years that have talked about some odd gangster being gay, wearing drag, etc. Out of thousands of mafiosi in Italy. And they're not only talking like it's a common thing but it's also become widely accepted. The media has done the same crap with the female relatives of mafiosi, making it sound like women leading clans has become a common thing. :roll:

Look who published the article. The New York Times is a liberal "Fake New" bullshit outlet always pushing that liberal propaganda. They'll exaggerate and lie about anything in order to try and "shock" someone into buying it. :roll:

Its the NY Post which, strangely enough, has been a more conservative paper. At least compared to the other New York rags.

I stand corrected. It's the N.Y. Post, which isn't nearly as bad as the N.Y. Times. However, that article "sounds" like something from the N.Y. Times. The minute I saw N.Y. and started reading that bullshit article, my mind went immediately to the N.Y. Times. lol

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of bosses, captains etc look the other way if they know someone is gay but they're bringing in money, as long as they're not living it openly.
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”
