You're inviting discussion and not, I don't know, throwing eggs at his house, so I don't think you're being over-sensitive, no.
That said, I don't think GDL was really making any commentary on MD at all, it was just an easy pun, if probably badly used. He's probably sat in front of Children of Earth posters at cons for yeeeeaaars, and he was just doodling on it for giggles. I don't think his comments were hugely damaging, but I acknowledge that I'm not exactly the crowd that would be hurt. (It also ends up coming across as unfortunate commentary on TW now, but I feel like he's not even watching MD, is he?)
As it seems your whole post has become a discussion about MD rather than the actual poster, I have this sneaky theory that the Torchwood producing people realize they have this crazy set of die-hard Jack/Ianto fans after CoE, and rather than realizing why we liked the pairing so much, just thought we liked the openly gay aspect of it. Hence the over-gayification of the show. This is, again, just a feeling I've got. And yeah, the way the show has been systematically harping on this theme, that bothers me. I can't imagine how other people must feel.
