Curiously, this complication also connects him more closely to Tony. However, LuisвЂ™s promiscuity is complicated by his own background, which is as a son whose own father abandoned him. Thus, the title Gay Tony might imply that sex of a wilder or more taboo nature is going to be explored or expressed in the game, sex that might be viewed as a вЂњnormalвЂќ part of a more licentious lifestyle, like that of a man dabbling with underworld connections. TonyвЂ™s occupation and personal habits connect him to such things, but LuisвЂ™s promiscuity also marks him as being deviant from the mainstream ideal of monogamous sexuality. As anyone who has read a Raymond Chandler novel or two knows, crime novels tend to associate homosexuality with generally deviant lifestyle choices, and thus, homosexual characters in crime fiction are frequently associated with pornography, drugs, and the like (IвЂ™m thinking of novels like The Big Sleep for example). Much like crime fiction of the early twentieth century, homosexuality in crime fiction is often chained to the seamier aspects of life, including the criminal. In that sense, Gay TonyвЂs sensibilities are a bit retrograde by linking sexual habits with criminality. The game features the ability to participate directly in such mating ritual as Luis can shake a little tail to get a little tail at the club, and his conquests frequently give out phone numbers that can be dialed up for health boosting booty calls at any point during the game. Dancing leading up to the sex act is a tale as old as time and one written into nature itself as humans mirror the animals in performing mating dances to get the juices flowing.

Much like Studio 54, Maisonette 9 is a hotbed of hormones. As a result, Tony seems to be a kind of consideration of what a man like Rubell would be doing in the 2000s, and Tony is certainly prone to RubellвЂ™s darker tendencies as he maintains a pretty substantial coke habit as well as exhibiting symptoms of paranoia and stress as a result of operating his businesses.Д¬lub life is the central focus of The Ballad of Gay Tony, which brings us back to the sex act as a central concern of this version of GTA. Unlike Rubell, a man referred to openly as Gay Tony is obviously not closeted (he also owns a gay nightclub called Hercules), but Tony has been running clubs since 1987 very close to the year of RubellвЂ™s death from AIDS. Still though, Gay Tony is a most crucial character as the title of the game implies, and his presentation is fairly fascinating given RockstarвЂ™s history of creating cartoonish stereotypes of both gays and racial and ethnic groups as part of their parody-laden crime sagas.ДЄs the owner of a nightclub that is signified by a description of an architectural space and designated by a number, Tony largely seems to be a kind of re-imagining, of Steve Rubell, the gay owner of Club 54. That Gay Tony would not be the persona that players would be taking on was rather quickly made clear in RockstarвЂ™s promotion of the game. When The Ballad of Gay Tony was announced, I was certainly surprised, left wondering if Rockstar had decided to feature a homosexual protagonist in one of their games. Lopez is a ladies man, unafraid to shake it on the dance floor in order to get a little on the side, and he is also the number one of the man who owns the controlling share of Maisonette 9, Gay Tony Prince. This is due in large part to the significance of sex to this particular iteration of GTA but also due to the nature of the protagonist of this game, Luis Lopez, a partial owner of one of the hottest clubs in Liberty City, Maisonette 9. Nevertheless, despite its title, heterosexual sex acts are considerably more common than homosexual ones in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Okay, well not exactly (or perhaps, what my title implies isnвЂ™t exactly what I mean). The Ballad of Gay Tony is the straightest Grand Theft Auto ever. This discussion of The Ballad of Gay Tony does contain spoilers. вЂ“Rocco Pelosi, Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony Your brand of charming homosexuality, Tony, itвЂ™s kind of run out of steam.
