Always sunny mac gay

It's Always Sunny treats sexuality and gender really well and that makes me happy

YES YES YES BLESS THIS POST.

I think the saving grace there is that Rob Mcelhenney (the guy who plays Mac/the showrunner for those who don’t know) was raised by two moms, so he definitely has a very personal relationship with LGBTQ issues. He is SUPER defensive of them and will throw down on the internet if someone is spouting homophobic bullshit his way. 

And you can see in his interviews whee he talks about these episodes that he is pretty well educated about lGBTQ issues. When talking about Cameron (the trans* lady) even though HIS CHARACTER is crazy transphobic, he always refers to the character as a woman and comes down on his character for not seeing her as a woman. 

“There’s a character in the show that my character is enamored with and that is a transsexual named Carmen,” he explained.  The conundrum that my character was always in is that he considers a straight man and he meets this unbelievably beautiful woman  who just happens to have a penis…..
“In the episode, Denni

"Is Mac gay?" is a doubt that just about every character on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia wonders at some show in the series. A exhibit 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 exhibit for half a season.

Of all these characters, Mac ma

How It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Made One of Queer 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 get Mac to dance on the Paddy's Pub float in the Philadelphia Pride Parade. Each member of the gang had a occupation, but Mac wasn't interested in his assigned role as the token gay person to sway on the float. He told Frank that he was still struggling to find his place within the gay community and had still not come out to his father.

Danny DeVito's character 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 complete ignorance. But Mac's conflict was played with complete compassion and sincerity, giving voice to the feeling of displacement and alienation that often exist

not rob specifically, rcg didn’t need to have him come out (and stay out) which is why he went back in the closet at the verb of the gang goes to hell. if they hadn’t had him actually come out and then take it back, who knows if he ever would’ve come out because it was backlash from lgbt fans over the gang goes to hell that led to hero or hate crime and out gay mac. this is from plunder in

“Very rarely do 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 tend 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 gay, obviously. That would have been demeaning and offensive. 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 character came out and then went back
