Are 'Doctor Who' And The BBC "Promoting A Gay Agenda?" Viewers Complain About Season 8 Episode's Lesbian Kiss And More

Let's push all of those season 9 rumors and spoilers aside and answer one question this week: Is Doctor Who, and therefore the BBC, "promoting" some kind of "a gay agenda?" Well, according to some concerned viewers of the beloved British series, those quoted words are frightfully true! Ever since the lesbian kiss shared between Madame Vastra and Jenny in the first episode of the eighth season, "Deep Breath," concerns have been flying in! So what do you think? Is there an agenda to the sci-fi, fantasy adventure show?

According to a report published by the BBC Trust, at least three viewers of Doctor Who have written in to the organization and complained that the series promotes homosexuality. The most verbal incident occurred when numerous viewers complained about a kiss between two characters of the show, who were faced with their looming death, according to The Independent. These characters, who happened to be female (though one of them was a different species ... let's not get into that), shared one last embrace to share air (SPOILER: it wasn't their last. The Doctor saved them!).

These characters, portrayed by Neve McIntosh and Catrin Stewart, had been featured on the series for three years as a married couple, but this happened to be the first time they kissed in a scene. It was pretty moving- in many differing ways, it seems.

Also, we can't forget Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) who was described as an "omnisexual" on the series a few seasons back.

Meanwhile, the BBC Trust has already responded to the complainers.

"The BBC offers some of the best British-made shows around, with programs like Miranda, The Archers, Happy Valley, Strictly and Sherlock constantly achieving high satisfaction ratings and praise from our audiences, and although at times our programs can cause debate, we always welcome constructive feedback from our diverse viewers," a spokesperson for the Trust explained. "The complaints framework that the BBC Trust put in place in 2012 allows the BBC to close down, after an initial response, complaints that for example are hypothetical, use abusive language, fail to cite any evidence or breaches of the BBC's editorial guidelines. Only about 10 per cent of complaints fall into this category and if complainants are unhappy they can appeal to the BBC Trust."
