Poll: Is the Doctor (Doctor Who) Gay?

[interspark]

yes, i could have just said, "is doctor who gay?" but i like to be accurate and correct, ok?

alright, so he flirted with River but he was waving his hands around like Bernard Black on a Saturday when she was kissing him and backed away from her afterwards, also he prances around the place all the time, frequently boasts of men who were attracted to him and described Amy's friend Jeff as "good-looking", i dunno, it's just the feeling i get! what do we think?

also, River frequently kissing the doctor could mostly refer to future regenerations

edit: ok, a lot of people are bringing up stuff like Rose and the doctor's kids, don't forget, we're talking about the current doctor, anything can change after regeneration!

edit: sorry it's a bit late, there's the Bi option

I really doubt the BBC would dare to air that, considering doctor who is a family/kids show.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Two words.

Rose Tyler.

Right. Because a man that is found attractive by other men and/or who recognize when other men are attractive simply MUST be gay.

Really enlightened question you have there.

Is Torchwood considered a family/kids show? (Neither is considered a kids show over here, so I really can't tell.)

 

[Harbinger_]

Um here is a question for you. Just because a guy prances around and says that a guy is good looking does not mean that he is gay. Also please note that he is an aliens and therefore not human and also weird by their standards as well.

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

The Doctor isn't gay.

what are you talking about?! Jack was incredibly gay!

 

[nuba km]

maybe he just doesn't find aliens hot.

We're talking this current doctor, right? I say wait to see if he resists Captain Jack Harkness again - if he ever makes a re-appearance that is. If he does, he's straighter than straight.

 

[Sindre1]

He had kids.

Oh yeah, shit. What the fuck am I talking about.

Fairly certain the 11th is asexual, considering how weird his character is.

Spoiler

Jack was bi, btw

thanks for the sarcasm, cos that's reeeeeally appreciated! it's just a theory! at no point did i say that it was 100%

Two words.

Rose Tyler.

another word "Regenerated" anything can happen!

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Do you even understand what the Doctor is?

I think I read an article where the creators of Torchwood explained it was a spinoff for adults. I could be wrong, but it is considerably darker, and has quite a bit more sex.

Though, Captain Jack was in Doctor Who, and he was still bi there, so I guess that answers whether or not BBC thinks that's okay for families.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

In previous series, he's made allusions to his wedding and the fact that he was a father. No, I don't believe so.

 

[dashiz94]

Flamboyant...NOT gay

It really, really isn't. Series one, episode one. Jack gets shot right in the face. Not exactly frolicking through the fields stuff.
Series one, episode two, an alien that feeds by having sex with men and then disintegrating them as they climax. I'd watch that with my family! /joking sarcasm

In all honesty, no, but I wouldn't rule out pansexuality. I would say bisexuality, but that would exclude genderless/hermaphroditic races.

 

[LightspeedJack]

He strikes me as the kind of guy who has sampled everything on offer.

 

[MadCapMunchkin]

He's a Time Lord who flies around the universe saving planets, fighting monsters, and let's face it, being pretty sort of marvelous...he's probably pulled a Jack Harkness more than once...

If any one Time Lord is gay, it's...

Spoiler

And that's just the outfit!!!

Sorry, "I always Drezz for the occasion" may be a badass line when said to your grandmother, but I remain un-intimidated, pansy boy...

 

[Aerowaves]

He had a granddaughter once, so he can't be. He also had a major thing going for Rose.

His current incarnation is a bit eccentric and academic - revelling in defying societal norms - but he's still him, and I can't see sexual preference changing regardless of hilarious Comic Relief specials. Also he and Amy have a definite vibe, whereas if he was gay he would have been quite open about it (Torchwood etc.).
