It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Stops Being Funny to Be Gay Instead

"Mac Finds His Pride" (November 7, 2018) Twelve seasons in, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stopped giving Mac the Smithers treatment and let him be gay, but it's the season thirteen finale we're talking about because it highlights Mac's sexuality without making jokes, at least for the third act.

Shivka for offering their interpretations of the narrative in the dance sequence! Watch the dance sequence in question here. Read Vulture's analysis of "Mac Finds His Pride."
