ExQUEEZE me, but the purple teletubby had been adopted as a gay mascot long before J. Falwell got in the game.
And I suspect one reason is that the man portraying the purse toting tubby actually WAS gay...but even if not, the purse and purple triangle on his head seemed to be enough for the gay subculture to latch on to him for a while.

Falwell got in the gameNot by the pre-schoolers who are the show's intended audience, and who Falwell's newsletter claimed were being corrupted by it. They're STUFFED ANIMALS for crying out loud! None of them ever had their gender indicated by the show, much less their sexual orientation. If any little kid ever got the idea that one of these stuffed animals was homosexual, they could only have gotten it from a nutty parent who'd been reading Falwell's newsletter -- not from the show.
