The Ninth Doctor kissed Captain Jack on the lips in his season, so wouldn't this be the second?
Jack is Bi/Pan, right? Bi erasure?
I know Jack is bi/pan, but him kissing another man would be described by most as being a gay kiss.
The headline did specify that they were talking about the first gay kiss for the character of 'The Doctor', not the show as a whole, so Captain Jack kissing other men in general doesn't make the headline wrong. The Ninth Doctor, who was a man, specifically kissing Jack on the lips is a gay kiss for their character though, and that makes the headline wrong.
I was just making a reference to the fact that Bi people are sometimes erased or not recognized in some lgbt+ communities, which often is problematic for them, as both their straight and gay/lesbian relationships are sometimes plagued by their partners/potential partners distrust, among other things.
Oh sorry, I misunderstood! You are right about that. I actually get that a lot as a bi person myself.
Also didn't Jenny and Madame Vastra kiss or am I misremembering
Title says "his" as in the character, not "its" as in the show.

To be fair, Doctor Who is the title of the series and not the name of the character.
And in Torchwood, Jack had a full prolonged romantic makeout with a man
