Eugene Levy, honored with the Nancy Pelosi Equality Ally Award, reflects on his work in LGBTQ+ representation amidst rising anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments in the U.S. While accepting the award, he chooses not to delve into politics, instead emphasizing themes of love and equality inherent in his acclaimed series, Schitt's Creek. Levy notes that the show was created to depict a world of acceptance and normalcy around queer love. He credits his family's experiences, including his son Dan Levy's coming out story, in shaping the show's message of equality.
Live and let live. Equal rights mean the rights are equal for everybody.
It wasn't about making a statement; it was just writing a love story... and nobody in the town batted an eye.
The show, Schitt's Creek, amplified LGBTQ voices and narratives, showing acceptance without needing to explain it.
Levy described how his son's coming out story helped shape the evolution of Schitt's Creek.
