AMATO was allegedly a gay boss, but that is moistly based on his wife's telling members of the crime family about it, but John and her had been fighting constantly when he became acting boss.
I don't know. Was D'Amato really gay, or was that something they made up to "justify" killing him? It doesn't really matter, but I don't think you can kill a boss, so they had to come up with some excuse. Not that that justifies killing him, of course.
