Jack wasn't even the *Doctor’s* first gay kiss, let alone ~first gay kiss in all of dr who~ 😭

aint no WAYYY THEY JUST TRIED TO SAY THAT. not even "the doctor's" but doctor who's in general 💀💀 so now that they have a disney contract every single gay thing (which they've had for fucking decades) is gonna be a huge big huge first gay thing ever!!1!1!1!! event??? like yeah there's a very specific significance to it i get it but what the fuck do you mean😭 jamie pull up the files

#actually if you wanna get *really* in the weeds about it the first gay kiss in all of dr who was P.R.O.B.E The Devil of Winterborne in 1995 #but also listen while Jack and Nine's kiss is extremely important and historical #ye gods nuwho fans y'all are not the first at basically anything so jot that down #hell our lad of dubious distinction russell himself quite notably wrote Chris Cwej having a one night stand with a man in the NAs #in like 1998 #my ultimate point being: Dr Who has been a haven for queer people and queer culture for whole span of its existence #and the reason you can split hairs so finely over the ~real first gay kiss~ is because so many queer people have worked for so long #to ensure that dr who would be inclusive of us #the wilderness years matter for queer rep because that's the time when folks like rtd got their foot in the door #but even they weren't the first #Warris Hussein is an openly gay man and was the shows very first director in 1963 #dr who has always been queer
