The tinky winky scandal

The tinky winky scandal The reaction to the Rev. Jerry Falwell's outing of Tinky Winky (the purple Teletubby) was widespread with scorn and hilarity. Comedians and writers ridiculed Falwell for his paranoia in seeing homosexuals on toddlers television programs. When asked about the charge, Falwell said he had never seen Teletubbies and didn't know whether Tinky Winky was homosexual or not. However the notion of someone attacking a cartoon character is too appealing to be …

…ridiculous to object to them. There's no scientific or psychological basis for believing that children are affected in their sexual development or their eventual sexual orientation by exposure to homosexuality-on television or in real life Anyway, on the religious side, this battle is pointless because the war is already lost. Gay themes are everywhere. For example, Pee-wee's Playhouse runs every day on the Fox Family Channel just a couple of hours ahead of The 700 Club.
