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

If he were jt a guy stgglg to bottle up his homosexualy, that would jt be prsg, and a different kd of show. But as a strict Catholic, Mac has reprsed his homosexualy so much that he don’t even unrstand his fatuatn wh badass tough guys is bee he wants to have sex wh them. FXX has renewed Always Sunny for two more seasons followg the 10th, which I n only assume will fally be the seri’ last, and I’m really hopg before ends we get an episo lled “Mac Realiz He’s Gay.

” Until then, I’ve put together this timele that outl Mac’s homosexualy as bubbl ever closer to the surface. At this pot the seri, they probably didn’t yet have any tentn to make Mac gay. Season Six — “Mac Fights Gay Marriage”.

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILALPHIA DIDN'T ALWAYS PLAN TO MAKE MAC GAY

Mac go on a csa agast gay marriage bee after pletg her transn to a woman, Carmen married a man named Nick.

Mac sists that Nick is gay sce Carmen was born a man, seemg to miss the irony that he had sex wh Carmen before she pleted the operatn, clarg their marriage to be a “gay marriage. This is the episo, which the gang participat a day that revolv pletely around Mac, they fally and fively realize: “I know we’ve never said this as a group, but Mac’s gay. Mac’s “Country Mac” shows up — and not only is he tougher and more of a badass every sgle way than Mac is, but he’s also openly gay.

While geics have never been scientifilly proven to have a role sexual orientatn, ’s always been a strongly held theory, so would make sense that Mac would have a gay . (Actually two gay s, as Mac ns to another gay Paddy’s the seri premiere when they accintally turn to a gay bar.

” But jt to le out, he volunteers to see if the leprechn might have a pot of gold at the end of the rabow — this se the “rabow” beg a fictnal Philalphia gay bar actually lled The Rabow, which he bravely volunteers to search solo. When the gang cis to go on a booze-ee Christian cise, Mac is ially flummoxed to meet a married Christian gay uple, pletely throwg a wrench to his nstant ternal stggle. ” Unfortunately after the boat almost sks wh them locked the brig, the near ath experience leads Mac to believe that God was jt ttg him and he’s not gay after all.

“Mac Fds His Pri” is the ultimate referendum on the show’s nng joke about Mac’s tortured nial of his homosexualy. The setup se Frank burstg to Mac and Dennis’ apartment (gomely whangg his nose the procs) and unsuccsfully hectorg the prsed Mac to beg the token dancg gay guy on Paddy’s pri para float. Attemptg to buck Mac up so he’ll help “rope the gays” wh some performative mercial-md gayns, Frank tak Mac to an unrground gay S&M club and a drag bar before urgg Mac to fally e out to his terrifyg, thankfully still-imprisoned father, Luther.
