Levy also shared a message for the show's loyal fan base, thanking them for \"taking the time out of your busy lives to watch our show.\"

\"Getting to share this show with you, getting to watch you champion it, tell your friends about it, herald its messages of love and acceptance and decency with such empathy and passion...that is something I will never forget,\" he wrote.

\"You’ve taught me that television has the power to not only bring people together in profound and inspiring ways, but also the power to change conversations and consequently, change lives,\" he added. \"I know that you all have certainly changed mine.\"

The actor also shared a screenshot of his mother Deborah Divine's congratulatory message to him about breaking barriers.

Levy opened up to GLAAD’s Anthony Ramos about how he is extremely proud of the impact the show has made for the LGBTQ community.

His character David's openness and confidence in his identity, as well as his relationship with Patrick, played by actor Noah Reid, were focal points in the acclaimed series.

\"It is the greatest takeaway I could have ever imagined from this show,\" Levy told GLAAD, on the show's work in increasing representation.

\"I just think back to times in my life when I was still in the closet and really struggling, and thinking if I was going to be able to live an open and authentic life myself,\" he continued. \"It is such a stark discrepancy between who I was as a teenager and who I am now. I am really proud of the work that we did, and I am humbled by the change that we seem to have affected in people’s lives and people’s homes.\"
