As much as I liked the character, he did learn acting in prison. Two gay points right there.
His brother is also some kind of weirdo "used to be a fag" priest and head of a libertarian think tank.

WWAW people having gay relatives? I never had one and when you hear about someone's brother/cousin/whatever being a cock smoocher, you have to wonder what the hell happened.
Edit: Back when IMDB had message boards, I remember reading a post that Tony showed up to a softball game in Brooklyn wearing a white suit with a cape. I don't know if that's cool or gay, but pretty funny visual.
