Doctor Who Had His Gayest Kiss Ever
Ncuti Gatwa.Doctor Who featured maybe its gayest kiss between the Doctor (currently played by Ncuti Gatwa) and a bounty hunter named Rogue (Jonathan Groff) in an episode set in the British Regency period. Leave it to the always-wet Jonathan Groff to usher in Pride Month. Despite initially suspicious of one another, the two characters soon team up to fight the Chuldurs — just how all great gay romances begin — and ultimately share a kiss by the episode’s end. Over the course of the series’ run, 14 actors have taken on the role of the shape-shifting Doctor, but Gatwa is the first to identify as queer and the first Black actor to play the role for a full season. While this was not the first gay kiss on the series, it is the first explicitly romantic same-sex kiss on the series involving the Doctor.
Correction: This story previously stated the Doctor Who series had not shown a gay kiss in 60 years, however, supporting characters and both the Ninth and Eleventh Doctor had same-sex kisses.
