Mac Comes Out as Gay to His Father in Stunning ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Dance Sequence: WATCH
Mac Comes Out as Gay to His Father in Stunning ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Dance Sequence: WATCH
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia saw Rob McElhenney’s character Mac come out as gay in 2016 to his friends, but not his father, a set-up which prompted a stunning dance number in Wednesday night’s Season 13 finale.
Vulture sets it up: “In the finale, Frank (Danny DeVito) is trying to convince Mac to prance on the gang’s gay pride parade float, but Mac isn’t feeling it. In his own way, Frank tries to help: “I never really got you and, to be honest, now that you’re gay I get you even less. Nothing against it, I just don’t get it.” Nevertheless, he vows to help Mac find his pride, which involves coming out of the closet to his imprisoned father, Luther (Gregory Scott Cummins). But Mac can’t open up to his father, at least, not with words. Which is a good thing because if he did, it would sound something like what he threw at Frank when he tried to explain his internal struggle: “There’s like this storm inside of me and it’s been raging my whole life, and I’m down on my knees, and I’m looking for answers, and then God comes down to me and it’s a very hot chick and she pulls me up and we start dancing.” That sounds like typical Mac nonsense, but the surprise comes when Mac ultimately manifests his internal musings into a full dance number that he performs in prison for his father, Frank, and the other inmates.”
Mac has gone from heavy to “comically jacked” as AV Club notes, and now we know why: “In this week’s season finale, it was revealed that the reason Mac is in such good shape is that he’s been preparing an elaborate modern dance piece in order to express his emotional turmoil to his imprisoned father. Recently, Vulture got the inside story on this breathtaking surprise performance, which apparently took months of work and planning to make happen. First, in order to get into the shape necessary to pull this off, McElhenney worked with celebrity trainer Arin Babaian, who gained notoriety working with Channing Tatum on Magic Mike. Once he was in good enough shape to dance for two hours a day, he reached out to choreographers Alison Faulk and Leo Moctezuma, and together they crafted the emotional modern routine that McElhenney would ultimately perform alongside professional ballerina Kylie Shea.”

Michael C. Hall Comes Out as Sexually Fluid: ‘I Would Say I Was Not All the Way Heterosexual’
Michael C. Hall Comes Out as Sexually Fluid: ‘I Would Say I Was Not All the Way Heterosexual’
Michael C. Hall gave a thoughtful interview to The Daily Beast’s Tim Teeman on a wide variety of topics including his sexual orientation.
Said the actor, who played gay in Six Feet Under, and trans as Hedwig on Broadway: “I think there’s a spectrum. I am on it. I’m heterosexual. But if there was a percentage, I would say I was not all the way heterosexual. I think playing the emcee required me to fling a bunch of doors wide open because that character I imagined as pansexual…I think have always leaned into any fluidity in terms of my sexuality.”

Hall, who is married for the third time to Morgan MacGregor, said that he’s never been intimate sexually with a man: “I think, maybe because of an absent father, there has definitely been a craving for an emotional intimacy with a man. I don’t mean to suggest that an emotional relationship between a father and son is any way homoerotic. I mean an emotional intimacy or connection that at least in the milieu I grew up in was considered fey. I had an appetite to have emotional connections with men beyond beer, sports, and fist pumping that were considered ‘gay.’”
Hall also talked about the debate over “straight” actors playing gay roles: “Its undeniable that the public finds it more palatable to see a straight actor do their own sexual or gender stunt work—‘Oh look at him, pretending to want that man, it’s so convincing’—as opposed to looking at a gay or trans person being themselves. It’s acting no matter what. It’s a character.”
Hall said that when he played David Fisher in Six Feet Under he was aware of the irony that not many gay actors pursued that role because of fear that it would expose their sexual orientation.
He also criticized the addition of token gay characters to entertainment just for the sake of having a gay character: “Sometimes I feel like executives say, ‘Let’s put someone in this show who is incidentally gay so we can check a box,’ rather than telling the full stories of gay and trans people.”

Linda Lime: Love
The human heart is a musical instrument, it contains great music. She is sleeping, but she is here, waiting for the right moment to ignite, to be expressed, to be sung, to be danced. And this moment arises through love. Without love, a person will never know what kind of music he carried in his heart.

Here’s How the Affordable Care Act has Provided Crucial Protections for the LGBTQ Community
Here’s How the Affordable Care Act has Provided Crucial Protections for the LGBTQ Community
Posted submitted by W. David Hardy, MD, Chair, HIV Medicine Association, Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
The open enrollment period for purchasing coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces started November 1. Over the next few weeks, people living with HIV and millions of others, including many LGBTQ individuals, will have important decisions to make about selecting a health care insurance plan. Despite the Trump-Pence administration’s repeated efforts to thwart the ACA, marketplace coverage options are available across the country and premiums have largely remained flat or have decreased.
I have seen firsthand the importance of people living with HIV and other chronic conditions being able to purchase comprehensive health care insurance thanks to the ACA by barring health plans from denying, or charging patients more for coverage due to a pre-existing condition. The strong protections against discrimination including ensuring coverage for essential health benefits have been critical to my patients, including those who are transgender, who before the ACA could be denied care and treatment important to their health, well-being and identity.
While the Ryan White HIV & AIDS Program remains critical to supporting comprehensive care for people living with HIV, it is not insurance and does not cover non-HIV related services or treatment or hospital care. The marketplace coverage, in addition to the Medicaid expansion in the 34 states including the District of Columbia where it has been implemented (so far), leveled the playing field for my patients with HIV and other chronic conditions. With the Democrats gaining control of the House of Representatives in the recent midterm election, Congressional repeal of the ACA is no longer a threat, but we will continue to face actions by the Trump-Pence administration’s attempts to reverse or undermine key coverage and non-discrimination protections.
By December 15, it will be important for health care and social service providers to ensure that as many of their patients and clients as possible get enrolled or re-enrolled in the best health care plan for them. For the near term we all must continue to fight to maintain and improve access to affordable health care coverage free of discrimination for all.
Enrollment tips and resources specific to people with HIV are available from the ACE TA Center and for LGBTQ people from Out2Enroll. Individuals can purchase coverage through healthcare.gov.

MUELLER PROBE. White House surprised by last minute request for docs on Roger Stone: “As recently as a month ago, Mueller asked Trump’s lawyers to produce call and visitor logs related to Stone from Trump Tower in New York, according to a source briefed on the matter. The request at this late stage of the investigation came as something of a surprise to lawyers involved, given that the Mueller team has been focused for months on Stone and his activities before the 2016 election.”
JEFF SESSIONS. Former attorney general may run for old Senate seat: “After Sessions left the Senate in 2017, his vacated seat was won by Democrat Doug Jones in a special election upset. Jones is up for a full term in 2020, and he is widely viewed as the most vulnerable incumbent senator facing reelection given Alabama’s conservative tilt. Republicans are certain to contest the seat aggressively as they look to protect their majority.”

Kemp has faced repeated calls and legal challenges urging him to resign his post or recuse himself from any matters related to the election in which he is a candidate.

Blum went on as the booing got louder and more aggressive, with shouting and whistling disrupting him. “As you can see from this auditorium, it’s the end of civil discourse,” he continued. “We have a president who calls the press the enemy of the people. Thanks to our president, anti-Semitism is on the rise.”’
