Barrowman's big penis worries gay sci-fi fan

The Sun newspaper has reported a 'storm' over an interview in Doctor Who magazine with gay actor John Barrowman. In the January issue of the publication, Barrowman who has played bisexual Captain Jack Harkness in the series and the spin-off Torchwood — discussed the apparent fact that his dick is “really too big”.

He also discusses Torchwood director Ashley Way, saying: “He’s a real hotty. I like him. He has a nice bum.”

Barrowman also confesses that he fancied former Doctor, Christopher Ecclestone and how he also finds David Tennant 'sexy'. This month's issue of Doctor Who magazine features an unhappy letter from a Robert Mitchell in Brighton. The fan identifies himself as gay In the first line, and admits to being 'delighted that at long last sexual minorities are being positively represented, not only in adult sci-fi drama such as Torchwood but also in a family series like Doctor Who'.

Mr Mitchell goes on to express his concern at the 'overt sexual comments' in the Barrowman interview. 'As an adult I can understand and accept that John is an outgoing, confident gay man, who uses sexual innuendo to be humorous. However your magazine is read not only by adults, but also by many children and young people'.

He finishes his missive of complaint by pointing out that the publication is called 'Doctor Who magazine and not Gay Times, which I also purchase'.

Oddly enough, The Sun neglected to mention that the author of the letter was gay. Perhaps this wouldn't tally with their continuing depiction of gays as lewd, rude and sex obsessed. More of Barrowman's big penis worries gay sci-fi fan
