I thought that was Pat "Toilet Voice" Robertson. HE was the one who made Tinky Winky a gay icon. No one else.

I thought it was Falwell. I could be wrong. But I'm fairly certain that the gay community also "adopted" TW as a bit of a cultural icon. But it didn't catch on to the extent of the color purple or the rainbow. Again, I could be wrong.

But the point is, they can claim anything and everyone "is" gay. Doesn't mean they are.

But the point is, they can claim anything and everyone "is" gay. Doesn't mean they are This is true, and I do see the silliness of the whole issue. I actually know someone who thinks that EVERY celebrity is gay (not really, but almost). I have absolutely no opinion of Clay, since I haven't seen episode ONE of American Idol or any related shows. The fact that he didn't say "No!" when asked will however lead to speculation, as evidenced by this article/thread.

I never saw a gay person with a Tinky Winky doll/symbol until -after- Falwell made an idiot of himself with it.
