Much as I disagree with Falwell, the author makes a mistaken assumption. Falwell only jumped on "Tinky-Winky" AFTER he had become an icon in the British homosexual community.

And AFTER Time Magazine spoke of Tinky Winky being gay. No one ever made mention of this and it was never talked about. But once Falwell talked about it he was credited and accused of being the source of said thoughts and got the usual crowd all worked up.

Is your NY chapter going to be present for this wonderful freeping opportunity?

Much as I disagree with Falwell, the author makes a mistaken assumption. Falwell only jumped on "Tinky-Winky" AFTER he had become an icon in the British homosexual community.

In addition, I think Newsweek mentioned the same thing before Falwell.

That said, it is impossible to watch Teletubbies without coming to the conclusion that Tinky-Winky is, in fact, gay. A couple of years ago, when my daughter was a year old, I saw quite a few Teletubbies episodes. Tinky Winky runs around fixated on his patent leather ladies' hand bag, and in one episode, couldn't wait for his turn to put on a ballerina tu-tu. By contrast, the other male Teletubby named Dipsy (a manly little chap) ran away rather than put the thing on when it was his turn.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
