Jerry Falwell not completely full of shit
It's hot as hell today, nearly 100 degrees and muggy. It's the sort of day where you outside for some air and a deep breath feels like inhaling fiberglass insulation. But I totally went berserk and mowed the lawn earlier when it was in the low 90's. I rule.
Just right now though, I'm inside watching the Teletubbies with my daughter. I just saw a bit where Tinky Winky sings and dances around with his bag, and I gotta say Falwell was right, Tinky Winky is gay. My "gaydar" was completely pegged, there is no way anyone could watch what I just watched and not conclude Tinky Winky is meant to be flamboyantly gay. Turns out it's not a secret. Somehow, because Jerry Falwell is always so wrong about everything, I always assumed "Tinky Winky is gay" was bullshit too. He's still wrong about everything else though, including a gay character being a bad thing.

AKA "Stinky Winky"

Two wrongs don't make a right. Tinky Winky may have masculine characteristics combined with flamboyant affectations but that does mean it's homosexual. The shapes on the Teletubbies heads are obviously sexual organs and Tinky Winky prefers to party with all the other shapes. I'd call it a metrosexual hedonist.

I hope your aware that there's a strong undercurrent that states that the IBM "pillar" marketing colours are related to the Teletubbies. This was almost broken when Rational were purchased, but thankfully, it was pointed out that "Nou-Nou" the vaccum cleaner was purple, and the idea sustained..

Tinky Winky *could* be female... after all, for homosexuality (at least in the manner the word is typically used) to exist, you need at least two sexes. Otherwise you're talking about hermaphrodites, and it's not quite right to talk about two hermaphrodites who are attracted to each other as "gay".

I think they prefer the term, "jovial".
