Well actually, the episode of the Sopranos where Vito Spat turns out to be a gay mobster was based on a real life New Jersey mobster named Johnny Boy D'Amato. Johnny Boy's girlfriend compalined to other family members that Johnny Boy had been hanging out in gay clubs and having sex with other men. Needless to say Johhny Boy D'Amato was wacked by his own people out of fear that their rivals would find out about Johnny Boy being a homosexual and use it against them.
