Joseph Gordon-Levitt's appearance on That '70s Show in 1998 is considered a landmark moment for television. In the episode, Gordon-Levitt played Buddy Morgan, a gay character who had a crush on the main character, Eric Forman. The episode featured the first-ever kiss between two males on North American primetime TV. While the reaction from fans was mixed, the episode served as a lesson in representation. The new spin-off, That '90s Show, continues to promote queer representation with a more respectful and accepting approach.
