Schitt's Creek 'normalises LGBTQ relationships'
Newsbeat reporter
"It's so rare to find a show with strong LGBTQ representation."
At last night's Emmys, Canadian comedy Schitt's Creek scooped a record nine awards.
But for many of its fans, it's not the awards which produce the show stand out as special.
"The relationship between Patrick and David is so important for the LGBTQ community," fan Eliza Gilbert tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
The Netflix show follows the wealthy Rose family, who are forced to move to a motel in a small town after losing their fortune.
But it's the romantic relationship between David (who identifies as pansexual) and Patrick (who is gay) which stands out for lots of fans.
"It's completely normalised," says Eliza, "it's a natural portrayal of that kind of relationship, entire of warmth and love," the year-old says.
The support they uncover from others in the series shows "it can be a natural and no
Next time you see Dan Levy, thank him.
Thank him for "Schitt's Creek," his super-bingeable comedic riff on a once-affluent family forced to live like fish out of Perrier in the podunk Canadian town the show is named after. And thank him, he who created and developed the series, which premiered in on Pop TV (and can also be seen on Netflix), for willfully remaining free only to craft and deliver more rib-tickling bons mots for the show's fourth – and most affectionate – season. Praise him again while you're at it, because the year-old former MTV Canada co-host has somehow start the time to design yet another queer-themed undertaking that he tells me is in the works.
But let's not obtain ahead of ourselves, for now we have David Rose (Levy), replete with his color-averse apparel and drop-crotch pants, general distaste for people, and his animated and generally disgusted facial contortions worn prefer memes in the making. Johnny, David's perpetually on-edge father, is played by real-life father and "American Pie" and "Best in Show" actor Eugene Levy, who also serves as the comedy's co-cre
David Rose
David Rose , played by Daniel Levy, is one of the main characters in Schitt’s Creek (). When his once fabulously wealthy family loses all their coins, they are forced to move to a small town that his father once purchased as a joke because of its humorous name.
At first, it appears that David is little more than an eccentric and spoiled dilettante with no practical skills. He fancies himself a victorious businessman, but his confidence is shaken when he finds out his parents secretly kept his gallery in business by buying art anonymously. Once in Schitt&#;s Creek, however, David’s good flavor, fashion sense, and understanding of the value of a trademark eventually form him the principal breadwinner in the family.
Precisely because he is so fashionable and does not fit in with the rest of Schitt&#;s Creek’s more grungy sensibilities, people in the town assume that David is gay. We learn better when David befriends Stevie, the manager of the run-down motel where the family is living, and the two of them develop a friends-with-benefits relationship.

softdavidrose asked:
ugh a little rant time. a few days ago i finished schitt's creek (and wow why didn't i watch it before?) so as one may do when they have a new set up obsession i went into the tag on tumblr but,,, i was so disappointed to see so many people not taking david's pansexuality seriously. many just said he's homosexual (which ultimately is not necessarily an issue) but so many people were saying he's bi and it got me SOOO ANGRY because HE'S NOT!!!! (cont.)
it sucks that bi rep isn’t very frequent, but pan rep is even LESS common, so maybe stop “taking” characters away from us? i literally never saw a character legitimately id as pan in television, that’s IMPORTANT to me as a pansexual person. of course it is also important for bi people to see themselves represented, but instead of taking away actual canonical pan characters and labelling them as something they’re not, they’re supposed to assist other canon bisexual characters. (cont.)
i’m not going around taking bi characters and saying “love my pan son” because that would be sh
