Mac is gay always sunny

Of the respective idiosyncrasies of The Always Sunny in Philadelphia gang — such as Charlie existence illiterate and Dennis being a sexual predator — one of the funnier running gags throughout the series has been Mac’s latent homosexuality. At this point in the series they’re not even dancing around the issue. In Wednesday night’s “The Gang Group Dates,” at one indicate Dennis refers to Mac as “the gay one” and at another aim when he turns to Mac and tells him that he derives his self worth from “convincing himself that he’s tough and straight,” Mac fires back “I am tough.”

Of course, what makes the joke work is that Mac himself is probably the only one that doesn’t know that Mac is gay. If he were just a guy struggling to bottle up his homosexuality, that would just be depressing, and a different kind of show.

I cried watching an episode of It's Always Sunny...

Never in a million years, after binging 13 seasons of this show did I expect something fancy that. I am not a member of the LGBTQ community. I will never know what it is love to struggle with my identity in that way... but, and I can't even explain how, the dance number at the cease hit me in the gut in a way I will never be able to explain. Good job, gang. Completely out of nowhere!

I'll watch the end scene over and over 👌🏻

I've not been a huge fan of this season on the whole, but this episode may well be my favourite of them all. I can understand the small ratings people are giving it because I understand that some people just aren't ready for what happened here. The ending was epic, stunning and truly unexpected. I won't go into details but be ready for something you could never be ready for 👌🏻

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Didn't Always Plan To Make Mac Gay
