Mac its always sunny gay

Rob McElhenney, creator and star of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, spoke about the decision to make his character Mac openly gay on the controversial sitcom. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a show about horrible people , Mac stands out. Not necessarily because he's any worse than anyone else in the gang, but because he so oblivious. Aside from his own "ingenious" ideas, the single biggest sign of his cluelessness, naivety, and sheer denial is the fact that he's gay and doesn't even realize it.

The "homophobe who's secretly gay" trope is well-trodden ground, but it's rarely been written as sharply as it was with Mac on It's Always Sunny. A show as long-running as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with its 16 seasons sees many of even its most morally dubious characters undergo one change or another. Rickety Cricket goes from a priest into a broken-down "street urchin"; Frank and Charlie frequently spend time apart only to come back together; Dennis even disappears from the show for half a season. Of all these characters, Mac may be the one who undergoes the most significant changes.

Mac insists that Nick is gay since Carmen was born a man, seeming to miss the irony that he had sex with Carmen before she completed the operation, declaring their marriage to be a “gay. So the Carmen story was really refreshing honestly. Its Always Sunny is probably the most homoerotic show on TV. Mac, Dennis, and Charlie are all very, very touchy-feely with each other.

Mac has actually come out as gay multiple times throughout the show. In the two-part season 11 finale, Mac has a threesome with two men and, immediately after, tells his friends, " Welp, I'm gay," who all respond with variations of " No s**t.".
