Clay “The Pain Giver” Jackson is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony. He is rumored to be gay (according to “The Celebinator’s” Blog), and the game clearly suggests his is in the closet. His only actual appearance in the game is in the mission “Club Management,” when the player-character Luis must help him and his supposed boyfriend Jacob avoid the paparazzi (video here, first 4 minutes).
