So, an odd topic about Far Cry 4's villain Pagan Min is whether or not the character is gay. People were worried that ubisoft would mis represent the LGBT community with the character. Ironically, these people were also jumping to conclusions that the character was gay due the box art, how he is dressed, his hair, and his attitude to the main character Ajay in the first 5 minutes of the game.
Gameinformer published an article about the creation of Pagan Min, you can read it here.

Article goes into details about the characters background, their attempt to one up Vaas, etc.
However the relationship the player character Ajay and Pagan gives details on Pagan's sexual preferences.
Also the pink suit is simply there for style. They go into detail as to why Troy Baker was casted as Pagan
Hopefully this kills any worries of misrepresentation.
Also worth noting that I would like to see more LGBT characters in games, I just found it ridiculous people were jumping to conclusions because he was wearing purple.

Pagan may be powerful, but his power isnt unchallenged. Early into Pagans leadership, a resistance movement led by a man named Mohan Ghale frustrated Pagans supremacy with tactful guerilla skirmishes. However, Mohan and Pagan werent just fighting for a country; they were fighting for the love of a woman named Ishwari. When this awkward love triangle ended with Mohans death, Ishwari fled the country, and Pagan retreated into his palace, leaving Kyrat to his lunatic governors.
This is where players enter into the story. As Mohans son a man named Ajay Ghale players return to Kyrat for the first time since they were a child in order to scatter their mothers ashes across the top of Kyrats tallest mountain.
Pagan has lots to reveal about your mother, says Thompson. Pagan has a personal connection to you that you dont understand, and he uses that as a weapon against you. Hes fun and charming, but also terrifying evil, but weirdly friendly. He can come talk to you very matter of factly while everyone around you is being murdered. Your whole world is falling apart, but for him its 11 oclock on a Tuesday.

There was something arresting about his performance, says Thompson. We saw probably 100 to 200 video auditions beforehand, and up until that point we hadnt seen anyone who had the confidence that Pagan Min needed. This is a man who wears a pink suit, takes over a country, installs himself as king, and says, Youre all my subjects, you love me, The actors we saw up until that point didnt have that. Troy Baker, right now, knows that hes hot ---. He has an air of confidence. The room was silent when he auditioned.
Hopefully this kills any worries of misrepresentation.
