'IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY' STAR ROB MCELHENNEY TALKS DECISN TO MAKE MAC GAY

* mac gay sunny *

This, however, was an earnt moment which Mac (played by seri creator Rob McElhenney) fally found the means wh which to exprs himself and affirm his inty as a newly out gay man. "We were lookg at Mac at one pot, and I was like, 'He is such an arch-arch Catholic nservative when sus him, and when don’t, he drops that.' And most of the people I know that mp tend to be fairly homophobic.

So we began gog down that road: Let’s satirize that hard Christian nservative who is also tensely homophobic. And that’s when I thought, 'Let’s jt make him gay.' What we realized is, if you look back over the seasons, almost worked retroactively."Gags about Mac's sexualy had long been one of the show's many nng jok, but jt as the show had skewered racist and sexist viewpots before, so too were viewers ved to lgh at the characters' homophobic ments, not wh them."The joke wasn’t that Mac was gay, obvly. "The joke was that he was the closet, and he refed to e out and doubled down on his homophobia.

We weren’t creatg a gay character for edic effect, that was there jt to be gay and to be funny bee he was gay, but a very plex, very disturbed, very fucked-up and awful character, who happens to be gay. A or so ago, Mac was ostensibly around season four beme abundantly clear that the only straight Mac was--as Sweet Dee and McElhenney's real-life wife Kal Olsen puts --was "straight up gay. And he wants what any God-fearg Christian man wants:Mac's obssn wh relign is also a direct rult of the guilt he feels for beg gay, a guilt his (played by Seann William Stt) do not share:Bee It's Always Sunny is far om your typil s, Mac's homo guilt don't manift self any typil ways.

Instead, Mac's relign is hot check out his visn of what Heaven is 's ternalized his homosexualy so much that he remas blissfully unaware of jt how gay he is--that is, until the latt episo when all that nuendo me flyg out of the closet and Mac realized what everyone has known all "The Gang Go to Hell, " Mac's relig fanaticism draws the gang to a Christian cise, but 's the kd of Christian cise that wel gays, as Mac fds out too late. When he se a uple kissg on the shuffle board urt, he seeks an answer om God and he cis to nvert the gays--for their own good. The gays are havg none of , however, and suggt that they nvert mut later:Sometim all tak is the love of a good man.

Followg his high seas sexpa, Mac also to the ncln that there's no God, but before we n see what all this means for the gang, they apparently end up--as the episo tle suggts--, this episo was part one the two-part season fale, so we'll probably have to wa till next year for the Adventur of Gay Mac.
