Moffat claimed they were all bisexual but didn't succeed in showing it on screen. They could all be bisexual, but gwen only kisses a sex alien possessing a female body under their influence to try and get it out of their body, her fiancé never showed any interest in men, Owen and Tosh did have same sex encounters on the show, but one experience doesn't make one bisexual. At least Jack and the other dude we're both shown to like women and ended up in a relationship (even if the other dudes self identification depends on the writer. Bisexual or straight dude for who Jack is his 'that one guy', or straight/bi guy who realised he was plain gay once he got involved with Jack? Take your pick).

This demonstrates the problem with trying to show bi characters on TV: if they obviously show attraction to people of more than one sex, then they are dismissed as a bi stereotype, but if they don't, then they are dismissed because monosexual is automatically the default and "one experience doesn't make one bisexual."

I'm sorry, but no. Word of God says they are bisexual - which, granted, doesn't always mean much if you don't show it - but each one is also shown in the series having same-sex experiences. They are all bisexual, end of story.

Do you mean RTD? Because Torchwood was RTD's show, not Moffat's.
