2 in the original manual, this character was said to “think he’s a girl He’d rather be called Birdetta.” There's also the flamboyant leather-clad boss Ash in Sega's side scrolling fight game Streets of Rage 3, who employed go-go boys to back him up. They include Birdo/Birdetta, the pink, red-ribbon-wearing, egg-shooting dinosaur from Super Mario Bros. Though these portrayals might not have been favorable or fair, it's worth noting their existence as characters of power. There have been other characters in earlier video games that were even more villainous. While you play the nightclub kingpin's bodyguard and not Tony himself, it is pretty significant that the entire episode is named for him. But since GTA's whole shtick is the seedy side of life, a gay character should be no exception. With gaming's strained history of LGBT representation, you might wonder why such an antihero could land on this list. Grand Theft Auto has been a bastion of bad behavior throughout the franchise's existence, and Gay Tony is no exception.
