Dr who gay kiss

Of course, all was not as it seemed. The Tenth Doctor also experienced a one-off bout of romance with Astrid Perth in "Voyage of the Damned," Lady Christina de Souza in "Planet of the Dead" and Queen Elizabeth I in "The Day of the Doctor." He shared an unspoken love with Rose Tyler, while the Eleventh Doctor enjoyed a long-term romance and marriage with River Song.

However, it did occur naturally as an outpouring of excitement and affection, which reinforced the idea that men can be affectionate and spontaneous. Shocking Doctor Who fans at the time, the movie saw the Doctor kiss Grace in two separate scenes. The first female Doctor was also the first to admit same-sex attraction and there was romantic tension between her and Yaz that unfortunately never came to fruition.

However, this first kiss was very different than some of the other kisses depicted on Doctor Who because it was not a romantic kiss and didn't feature a same-sex relationship.

5 The Doctor And Rory

Dinosaurs on a Spaceship & The Power of Three (both 2012)

During season 3's lighthearted "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship," the Doctor and Rory worked together to try to stop a Sirulian spaceship from crashing into the Earth.

For his part, Groff publicly came out to Broadway.com in 2009. 

Groff is currently starring on Broadway in the critically acclaimed Merrily We Roll Alongopposite Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez. 

The revival has received seven nominations for the upcoming 77th annual Tony Awards, with Groff up for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical. 

The 77th Tony Awards will air live on Sunday, June 16, at 5 p.m.

The Doctor and her companions are able to develop and administer an experimental antidote to Adam. In a ruling on Thursday, the unit said the sexual innuendo was mild and suitable for Doctor Who’s young audience. Additionally, Rory has no real reaction to the kiss and it's never discussed, which is a welcome antidote to the trope of straight men panicking if a gay man expresses interest in them.

Technically, Rory also kisses the Doctor during the Power of Three, although he only does so on the cheek.

While it was a sweet final shared moment between the Doctor and Yaz, many fans were understandably disappointed that the two never kissed, depriving Doctor Who of what could have been a major moment for LGBTQ+ representation on the show and arguably leaving the Doctor and Yaz's story with a less satisfying conclusion.

The Fifteenth Doctor has, in general and in his romance with Rogue, built upon these queer themes introduced by the Thirteenth Doctor. His dress sense -- which often blends feminine and masculine elements -- speaks to his gender-fluidity and he openly flirts with other men.

The on-screen smooch marked the series' first explicitly romantic same-sex kiss between the titular character and another person in its 60-year history. 

While the Doctor (Gatwa) has engaged in same-sex kisses with characters before, Friday's episode marked the first time the character was explicitly interested in their partner.

Davies added openly queer characters such as Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and pro-LGBTQ+ content. Kissing suddenly became the key to genetic transfers, the Doctor's defense mechanism against poisons, and removing the power of the Time Vortex from Rose Tyler. Men being comfortable with this type of affection is something that is not often shown on television and contributes to the pro-LGBTQ+ direction that Doctor Who has gone in since 2005.

4 Jenny and Vastra

Deep Breath (2014)

2014's Deep Breath featured Doctor Who's first lesbian kiss, although it was criticized for not being romantic.

However, the ending does leave the door open to Rogue's return. The Thirteenth Doctor may have been reluctant to form a relationship with a companion after losing so many in the past and with the specter of a prophesied death looming over her, but the Fifteenth Doctor was a more open, emotional and well-adjusted incarnation from the moment he emerged from his bigeneration.

At times, Bill and Heather's love story came close to being a tragedy, as they were separated by being transformed into different forms, especially as Bill was changed into a Cyberman after being shot through the heart and taken to an area of a ship where time passes more rapidly.

However, this story had a happy ending, making Bill and Heather's kiss one of the most satisfying in Doctor Who history.

This brief kiss was not anything romantic; the Doctor was simply overcome with excitement at the thought that Rory had found a solution to the seemingly impossible circumstances they found themselves in.

Unlike some of the other kisses, the one between the Doctor and Rory did not break any notable Doctor Who barriers.

Among these not-quite-romantic kisses were the Doctor's first same-sex kisses.

That all changed when the series received its first attempt at a revival with 1996's Doctor Who TV movie, starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Daphne Ashbrook as new companion Grace Holloway. Here is the complete guide to who Rogue is and how he fits into the Whoniverse.
