Vito Spatafore is a real sweetheart

[Episode Discussion]

I know he's still a mobster, so he can only be so sweet, but compared to the rest of the crew he seems like he genuinely cares about his children and his wife, even trying to keep in contact with them despite risking his own safety.

He seems like he genuinely didn't know how to reconcile his sexuality with his lifestyle and occupation, and I feel like if given the chance to be a gay mobster in some alternate timeline, he'd make the most of it.

Also thinking about it, even in his sexual life he's not any worse than the rest of the crew, it's not like they don't have goomahs, Johnny Cakes is just Vito's.... gooman? is there a male equivelent of goomah?

I dunno, I really like the queer plotlines in season 6, Vito seems like a wholesome guy when he's not haunted by his mob past.
