My first one was in "Six feet under" and I fully admit that it felt a bit weird first seeing two men kiss, but the more I saw it, the more I got used to it. TV can do great things like that.
Later, when I watched "Queer as Folk" (which I also watched before "Torchwood") I got so used to men kissing all the time, that it felt wrong when I saw a man and a woman doing it LOL
But yes, Jack Harkness is something special, as he is an action hero first and not just defined as a gay man as the other characters I mentioned. His sexuality doesn't define him.
I had that recently in "The Family" also. The FBI guy investigating the case casually mentioned his husband once. But it had no impact on the story, he was still the same police guy. I hope things get more normal this way.
