The character of Mac fally out as gay on the season fale of "It's Always Sunny In Philalphia." * always sunny mac gay episodes *
Throughout the first 11 seasons, there were many suatns that Mac was a closeted gay man; this was manifted by his obssn wh men's physiqu and his reactnary relig views on homosexualy.
At least two of Mac's s are also gay; Brett [1x1] and Country Mac. [10x7] His uncle, Donald, is also gay.
In the episo "Mac Fights Gay Marriage, " Dennis kicks Mac out of their apartment and tells him he don't own a sgle thg the entire apartment.

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. 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.
"Mac Fights Gay Marriage" is the first episo of the sixth season of It's Always Sunny Philalphia'. Mac pulls out the big guns to protect the sancty of marriage, while the rt of the gang reaps the rewards of maral bliss. 11:00 AM on a Thursday, Philalphia, PA After unsuccsfully... * always sunny mac gay episodes *
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.
