Volgin in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Colonel Volgin is a character in Metal Gear Solid 3, who is the lover of Major Raikov (his subordinate). He is described as bisexual and a “man of broad tastes.” In MSG3, Snake disguises himself as Raikov. When he encounters Volgin, Volgin grabs Snake’s crotch, which is how he realizes that the man is not actually Raikov. He then beats him for hurting Raikov. This can be seen in the video below.
