Interesting what I have found, it seems to that homos started this topic themselves. :)

Before Falwell Ever Mentioned Teletubbies In February, 1999 -

"Gays have championed Tinky Winky and his beloved red purse, and night-clubbers have adopted the show as a sort of druggy daydream."
— Newsweek, April 6, 1998

"Tinky actually became a gay icon in Britain because, for no apparent reason, his voice is male but he sometimes carries a flashy red purse."
—The Toronto Star, April 6, 1998

"Tinky Winky, the heaviest, looks a little like an eggplant with cellulite. He also sometimes carries a red purse, which has won him popularity among gay viewers."
— The Washington Post, April 06, 1998

Tinky became quite the celebrity, especially after gay-rights groups fought for his reinstatement, partly because Tinky Winky has a male voice but skips about Teletubbyland carrying a red purse.
— Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Texas), April 6, 1998

"And what's with Tinky Winky, whose voice sounds strangely mature and who sometimes carries a red handbag?"
— The New York Times, April 6, 1998

"The way the original Tinky Winky carried his tote-bag-size red purse reportedly made him a gay icon in Britain." But today many forms of gender nonconformity have actually become mainstream. . . . Even Teletubbies, a show for toddlers, features Tinky Winky, a boy who carries a red patent-leather purse.
— Time Magazine, July 20, 1998

"FAK JU MRS. MINISTER"

One radio station asked its listeners to vote for the most suspicious children's show. Some e-mailed in to point out that Winnie the Pooh had only male friends.

Not true .. Kanga is a girl

Poland knows propaganda well from the Soviets..
They know propaganda when they see it..
American Republicans are clueless.. on many issues..

[hosepipe]

The Cookie Monster is a republican though...

Apparently they have their organs on top of their heads. From a Freudian standpoint two are male and two are not. Tinky Winky and the circular-organed one are likely female. My grandson enjoys them. Should I be concerned?

I don’t really care if this “character” is supposed to be gay or not...the whole show appears to be mindless junk intended to plant children in front of. I say give them something more substantial...maybe War Stories with Oliver North...that’ll put hair on their chests.
