Levy co-created and starred in the heartwarming and hilarious Canadian sitcom "Schitt's Creek" from 2015 to 2020. Levy's affluent character, David Rose, is pansexual, meaning he's not necessarily attracted to someone based on their sex, gender, or gender identity.
In the season one episode "Honeymoon," David alludes to being pansexual through a wine analogy. "I do drink red wine. But I also drink white wine. And I've been known to sample the occasional rosé. And a couple summers back, I tried a Merlot that used to be a chardonnay," he said. "I like the wine and not the label. Does that make sense?"
This explanation simplified pansexuality into something that anyone could understand. In a documentary about the show, "Best Wishes, Warmest Regards," Levy discussed how fans tell him that they've used this analogy to come out to their families, according to Yahoo.
David also starts a relationship with a man, Patrick, who learns that he's queer through his relationship with David. Their relationship is joyful, heartwarming, comical, and helped normalize gay couples on TV.
In the documentary, the cast read a letter signed by over 1,800 mothers of LGBTQ+ children thanking them for the writing and storylines on the show.
One line read, "We sincerely believe that shows like 'Schitt's Creek' will serve as a catalyst to help change the world into a kinder, safer, more loving place for all LGBTQ people to live," according to Daily News.
