I am a huge Dr Who fan and tbh I don't really care what the companions are like. In as much as they could be from the planet zoo and they would still be a companion.
What I think is wrong is to make an issue of someone's sexuality just because someone wants or needs to tick a diversity box. And I do hope that it won't become part of a major storyline.
Who bloody cares if the companion is gay? It shouldn't even be an issue and I fail to see why it should even be mentioned unless it is integral to the story and not just shoehorned in for diversity.
Although I think Michelle Gomez is absolutely fantastic as Missy/Master I would not want to see the Dr change sex. The Dr and the TARDIS are the only constants in an ever changing invironment and even when he changes the constant still needs to keep the equilibrium intact.

And?
The BBC, ITV, CH4 and CH5 always promotes their new shows with interviews with cast members. This will also be done on This Morning, The One Show, Lorraine etc.
The vast majority of Dr Who fans will simply accept the character, and not boycott the show, as someone earlier on this thread has announced.
Perhaps this is because the show's audience demographics skew towards younger viewers who don't get upset at seeing a bit of diversity on programmes aimed at them?
