Reply #4: I don't think the OP [View All]

[BillSam]

is trying to link the mafia with gay people. He's just concerned about the mafia's possibly continuing exploitation of gays, and curious about mob influence over gay bars in some cities.

You're probably right that most gay bars are not mob-controlled, and certainly right that those that may be mob-controlled are limited to large cities like New York. But I think it's a fascinating issue, and what's wrong with shedding a little light on it?

If you check out the blog the OP links to, you'll see that it does cover specific cities, not the nation as a whole.
