An interesting New York Times article about whether or not Judy Garland, Vito's favorite diva, remains culturally important for gay men:
The Road Gets Rougher for Judyism's Faithful
(Of course, not surprisingly, the article fails to mention that Judy has also historically been highly relevant to some lesbian audiences. See the chapter: "'My Beautiful Wickedness': The Wizard of Oz as Lesbian Fantasy" in Flaming Classics: Queering the Film Canon by Alexander Doty).
