-'''Bryce Dawkins''' is the Deputy Mayor of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Although never encountered in person, he is mentioned frequently by [[Niko Bellic]]'s acquaintance, [[Bernie Crane]]. His character model seen on billboards throughout the city is also the same as a [[pedestrian]]'s seen around the city in GTA IV. It is revealed that Bernie is involved in a romantic relationship with Dawkins who, ironically, built his entire political career on conservative family values and anti-gay legislation. Moreover, Dawkins is [[Mrs. Dawkins|married]] with children yet continues to carry on with his relationship with Bernie. Bryce met Bernie at a foam party at the [[Tony Prince]]-owned gay club [[Hercules]] while Bernie was high on ectasy.
+'''Bryce Dawkins''' is the Deputy Mayor of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. He is frequently mentioned in the game and contributes to the plot, but is not seen in person (although billboards feature his face and look-alike [[pedestrian]]s can be spotted).
+====Public Image====
+Dawkins is a right-wing politician infamous for anti-gay legislation and family values views. He is often criticized for homophobic comments that he makes; one of which suggested a link between homosexuality and terrorism, which he later apologized for saying "Some of my best friends are gay, I just don't want to know about it". Dawkins also endorsed the misogynistic children's toy [[genderrolldoll.com|Gender Roll Doll]], saying it is a very important tool for suppresing homosexual feelings and supporting family values.
+He lives with his [[Mrs. Dawkins|wife]] and children in a [[Westdyke]], [[Alderney]] mansion (strange as he is a politician of a different state). He also owns a speedboat, [[Infernus]] and [[Turismo]] (ironically [[Stevie's Car Thefts|stolen]] by Niko Bellic, not knowing who owned it), suggesting he was a wealthy stockbroker prior to his political career. However, it is revealed that Bryce purchased Bernie's condo with city funds and possibly his [[Infernus]] as well.
+====Gay Sex Scandal====
-Dawkins' secret is in danger of being exposed several times, forcing Bernie to enlist the assistance of Niko to help put a stop to the blackmailers hired by [[Dimitri Rascalov]]. Niko's help earns him an [[Infernus]], a gift from both Dawkins and Bernie, which is given to him after the mission [[Buoys Ahoy]].
+In reality he is a closeted homosexual in a relationship with [[Bernie Crane]], who he first met at a foam party at the [[Tony Prince]]-owned gay club [[Hercules]] while Bernie was high on ectasy. Bryce is blackmailed at least twice: once by Russian mobster [[Dimitri Rascalov]] for control of certain unions, and again by [[Thomas Stubbs III]] for an unspecified legislative goal. Bernie recruits the help of his old army friend [[Niko Bellic]] to threaten Dimitri away, who was coincidentally a prior mortal enemy of Niko's. After the threat is removed, Bernie rewards Niko with an [[Infernus]], originally a gift from Bryce to Bernie.
-Eventually, Dawkins' affair is leaked but the man vehemently denies being gay as well as any romantic involvement with Bernie, claiming their relationship as being purely platonic. He does however admit that he is going through troubled times and enters a rehabilitation clinic to deal with his "issues". What happened to Bernie after the affair was exposed is not mentioned.
+At the end of the game, Dawkins' affair is leaked although he insists he is not gay and his gifts to Bernie were only out of charity and platonic friendship. He does, however, admit to personal failures and enters a rehab clinic which is strongly rumored to treat sexual addictions. Although it is not made clear, the possibility is presented that Bryce may have had other boyfriends.
+====Influences====
-In [[The Lost and Damned]], Dawkins makes a comment on the website [[genderrolldoll.com]], a website selling the toy Gender Roll Doll, which is a children's toy that promotes gender stereotypes. The woman doll says 'It's okay to hit me if dinner is cold,' while the boy doll says 'I solve problems with my hands!' Dawkins said that the toy is a very important tool for suppresing homosexual feelings and supporting family values.
-Dawkins is likely a member of the Republican Party, as 'family values social Conservatives' tend to turn towards the Republican Party more than the Democratic. He may also be a member of the ultra-conservative [[wp:Constitution Party|Constitution Party]], the largest third-party in the United States, which supports family values, and strongly decry homosexuality.
+Dawkins is a parody of a long list of Republican gay sex scandals, at least 15 of which are listed [http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Republican_Sex_Scandals here]. The most recent incedents at the time the game was developed involved [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Allen Bob Allen], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig Larry Craig] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Curtis_%28politician%29 Richard Curtis] among others. Dawkins may be a member of the ultra-conservative [[wp:Constitution Party|Constitution Party]], the largest third-party in the United States, which supports family values, and strongly decry homosexuality.
