At the height of his career, he also proprieted clubs called ''[[Peacock]]'', ''[[Platonic Fury]]'' and ''[[Cox]]'' <ref name="Libertytree1"/> (Tony "returned to the gay scene" in [[1999]], which would suggest that none of those three clubs were gay-oriented). In [[1996]], he was arrested for possession of cocaine. After the failure of ''2 Backed Beast'', he opened ''Hercules'' in 1999. That same year, he got in police trouble for "public lewdness". Sometime between 1999 and [[2003]], the counterpart straight club in Tony's portfolio was called ''Death By Machines'', until it burned down and Tony was briefly banned from opening new venues. | ||

* Tony is the only homosexual character in the game who helps protagonist in fights, and isn't afraid to shoot and can handle a gun. Despite the fact that [[Bernie Crane]] was a soldier and Evan Moss was a bodybuilder, they were always afraid of shooting and fighting. Tony also wanted to help Luis in his last fight with Bulgarin's men, because he always made a share in their fire fights, and called himself "a seasoned veteran by anyone's fucking standards". | * Tony is the only homosexual character in the game who helps protagonist in fights, and isn't afraid to shoot and can handle a gun.

* It is unknown if Tony was born in Dukes or the Midwest as the LCPD database says he was born in the Midwest, although it is implied many times in TBOGT he is from Dukes but nothing is said about him being born there. Many people conclude that he was born in the Midwest, lived there for a short time that he would be too young to remember, and was raised in Dukes or that the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] had misinformation which is stated a few times in the game. However, they're much less likely to be wrong about ages and birthplaces as they can access birth certificates. | * It is unknown if Tony was born in Dukes or the Midwest as the LCPD database says he was born in the Midwest, although it is implied many times in TBOGT he is from Dukes but nothing is said about him being born there.

* Gay Tony's age is also very subject to debate. He claims to be 45 (in [[I Luv LC]] and [[Boulevard Baby]]), but the LCPD claims he is 50. The most likely scenario is that he's 50 and insecure about his age, which would fit into his feminine personality. He also may or may not have been 21 yet when he opened his first bar in 1983, if he were born later. Even if he were of age, someone opening a bar that young is unlikely. | * Gay Tony's age is also very subject to debate.
