LGBTQ References in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, White Stallionz Bar is a bar frequented a biker gang of the same name, which is characterized as “a homosexual white-supremacist outlaw motorcycle club.” By Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (which takes place two years after Vice City Stories), the bar has become Crocs Bar and is no longer associated with the gang. The bar is the site of The Bum Deal mission, which is the final mission in the game.

Les Beans Cafe (a likely play on the word lesbians) is an inaccessible cafe in the game. It plays no role in the game’s narrative.

In this game (and later games in the series), there is a Saturday Morning cartoon advertised on televisions called The Barfs (a parody of The Smurfs). One of the characters on this cartoon is called Fruity Barf and is gay.
