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.

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 .
