Having given several speeches already, Daniel Levy pushed people to vote in the final speech: “Our show at its core is about the transformational effects of love and acceptance and that is something that we need more of now than ever before. I just wanted to say that for any of you who have not registered to vote, please do so, and then go out and vote because that is the only way we are going to have some love and acceptance out there. Please do that. I’m so sorry for making this political, but I had to!”

Added Eugene Levy: “I want to thank this young man who took our ‘fish out of water’ story about the Rose family and transformed it into a celebration of inclusivity, a castigation of homophobia, and a declaration of the power of love.”

Daniel Levy spoke to GLAAD in the virtual press room.

Said Levy: “Well, I think getting to write that storyline, you know, obviously was incredibly cathartic for me for a variety of reasons. One, just that I don’t often get to see those kinds of relationships depicted on TV. So, I felt like it was an incredible responsibility to be given that opportunity and to try to tell it as authentically as I possibly could. You know, I think we made a decision to not include the conversation of homophobia or bigotry on our show and by projecting a sweeter, gentler world, I feel like that was in a way a political statement. It seemed to have quite an incredible effect on people, and I think the letters we’ve received from families and from people who have been changed in one way or another by the stories we were telling. I mean, that is the gift to be perfectly honest. To know that you’ve done something that has not only brought laughs to people but has also changed conversations in people’s homes and changed people’s minds and changed people’s hearts. That is absolutely tremendous and all you can really hope for. All of this is just icing on the cake really.”

Said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis: “Schitt’s Creek’s history-making nine Emmy Awards is a well-deserved breakthrough for LGBTQ inclusive television. Dan Levy being awarded for his work in front of the camera as the pansexual David Rose — as well as behind the scenes — should be a clear sign to the industry about the power of out LGBTQ creators and showrunners. What’s particularly special about Schitt’s Creek is that the love and heart seen by viewers on the show are matched off-screen by the tremendous LGBTQ advocacy that Dan Levy and the cast members continue to be leaders in.”

In other LGBTQ-related wins, RuPaul took home the Emmy for Outstanding Competition Series for RuPaul’s Drag Race.
