Mac is gay always sunny
Mac’s got secrets.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s resident badass lacks a certain consistency, as if profound within his “mass” is a maelstrom of conflicting emotions. What that dispute is exactly has been slowly, painstakingly made clear over the series’ past 11 seasons, culminating in season nine’s “Mac Day”: “I don’t think we’ve ever said this as a group,” Dennis says, “but Mac’s gay.” Dee, Charlie, and Frank agree, but Mac doesn’t. Is he in the closet, or is this all just a big understanding?
The cease of season 11 appeared to extend a definitive answer: At the close of “The Gang Goes to Hell: Part 1,” Mac comes out to the gang after meeting (and boning?) two gay Christians. His revelation didn’t last, however; at the end of “The Gang Goes to Hell: Part 2,” Mac embraces heteronormativity once again after he credits their survival of a shipwreck with “the Big Guy.”
Well, this particular wrinkle in Mac’s nature turned yet another corner in tonight’s episode, “Hero or Hate Crime?” As a means of evaluation, l

How It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Made One of Homosexual TV's Best Episodes
Many episodes ofIt's Always Sunny in Philadelphia have tackled complicated, emotional or timely subjects, but one of the most genuinely moving episodes of the series was Season 13, Episode 10, "Mac Finds His Pride." The episode was centered around Frank's mission to acquire Mac to boogie on the Paddy's Pub float in the Philadelphia Celebration Parade. Each member of the gang had a profession, but Mac wasn't interested in his assigned role as the token same-sex attracted person to boogie on the float. He told Frank that he was still struggling to find his place within the homosexual community and had still not reach out to his father.
Danny DeVito's traits Frank spent the episode unable to relate to Mac's struggles, but attempted to help him find peace within himself anyway. In typical Frank fashion, he went about it with zero sensitivity and end ignorance.

“Very rarely carry out we pander to our audience. Very often, we’ll hear a lot of the fan base over the years say, “Hey, we really want to see that.” We watch over to block that out […] However, what we found was, there was an episode where we had a running gag that Mac was in the closet and refused to come out, and everyone there knew he was gay except for him. The joke wasn’t that Mac was lgbtq+, obviously. That would own been demeaning and revolting. The joke was that he was in the closet, and he refused to come out and doubled down on his homophobia. It was just poking fun at the hypocrisy of that. At one point, my nature came out and then went back in the closet at the close of the episode.
I didn’t expect it, but there was a massive out
