Is Mac om 'It's Always Sunny Philalphia really gay? We took a look back to figure out. * mac is gay *

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. "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.

* mac is gay *

Of the rpective idsyncrasi of The Always Sunny Philalphia gang — such as Charlie beg illerate and Dennis beg a sexual predator — one of the funnier nng gags throughout the seri has been Mac’s latent homosexualy. In Wednday night’s “The Gang Group Dat, ” at one pot Dennis refers to Mac as “the gay one” and at another pot when he turns to Mac and tells him that he riv his self worth om “nvcg himself that he’s tough and straight, ” Mac fir back “I am tough. Of urse, what mak the joke work is that Mac himself is probably the only one that don’t know that Mac is gay.
