The Sunny fandom on tumblr is terrifying, so this is the only place I feel like I can discuss this rationally. (At least, that's my hope.) So for 12 years, Sunny went back and forth about Mac being gay, and tumblr has combed through every episode for evidence for his gayness. But there is one character in particular that people utterly refuse to use as evidence: Carmen. Carmen was very explicitly introduced as a transwoman that Mac was really attracted to, but apparently it's "transphobic" to say that that is proof Mac is gay.

How could that possibly be transphobic? He was a gay man struggling with his sexuality. I think he saw Carmen as a safe way to explore his sexuality because, in his mind and using the show's terminology, she's a "chick with a dick." They bring up the fact that she has a penis several times. I think Mac dating Carmen was his first foray into being comfortable around penises. For so long he was conditioned into living a heterosexual lifestyle, and Carmen was a way for him to transition out of his fear of penises and his own homosexuality.

TL;DR: Transwoman Carmen helped Mac realize he was gay, but tumblr would kill me for saying so.
