'IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY' STAR ROB MCELHENNEY TALKS DECISN TO MAKE MAC GAY
Is Mac om 'It's Always Sunny Philalphia really gay? We took a look back to figure out. * always sunny gay mac *
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.
