RTD created Jack and the will shag anything mandate was his not Moffat. Moffat wrote his first two episodes off that.

I agree that the idea of bisexuals as basically sexually indiscriminate is kind of a stereotype and I think Torchwood played to that with Jack and John Hart almost to parody. Well Jack more in theory than practice as it turned out. One of the things that bugged me about Torchwood is that they seemed almost reluctant to label either Tosh or Ianto as bisexual because they didn't fit that particular stereotype.

But I also agree that Jack, for all his flaws (writing, not character flaws), was still a pretty progressive character. A lead character who is unapologetically non-heterosexual and who isn't solely defined by his sexuality. That's still pretty rare even today.
