While I don't expect that I'll play Grand Theft Auto IV anytime soon, I am very terted how well the game's gay-themed storyl are handled.
And now, thanks to the handy vio walkthroughs of the game, I n get a better feel for the first gay themed missn, tled "Out of the Closet", fds the game's protagonist, mobster Niko Bellic, tasked wh assassatg a gay man named "French Tom" who ow money fo Bcie, Niko's boss (more or ls). I uld see that the game was tryg to emphasize that French Tom is an unemployed, egotistil adbeat and his sexual orientatn has nothg to do wh his murr, but 's still annoyg to see what a stereotype he is and a part of me wonrs if French Tom's effemate quali are supposed to make him more annoyg and, therefore, add to the satisfactn of killg French Tom isn't the only gay character the game. Bernie has a hard time talkg about beg gay, he plenty of phemisms sayg he me to the USA "to be himself" and when Niko asks Bernie why he's beg harassed he ps before explag that 's bee he's "fabulo".
Niko tak Bernie to the park so he n fd the hater and while Bernie has trouble sayg why he's beg targeted, his attacker throws out anti-gay slurs, makg his motivatn clear. You get to make sure the guy never attacks Bernie (or any other gay man) aga by chasg him down a bike and gunng him needs help aga as blackmailers threaten to out his lover, a hypocril, married nservative polician.

It's not hard to fd the homophobic segment of GTA's dience, so I n easily image GTA IV players fdg pleasure French Tom's ath (followed by too-faar cri of "I didn't enjoy killg him bee he was gay, I enjoyed killg him bee he was annoyg. ") However, GTA IV follows up on French Tom's murr wh an even more flamboyant gay man, one who you have to beiend and, I uld pla that Bernie's stori -- savg a gay man om gay bashg and beg blackmailed to stay the closet -- are clich that have bee rather tirome.
