Fundamentalist Baptist pastor, televangelist, and conservative activist from the USA
Founder of The National Liberty Journal
February 1999
An article was printed warning parents that Tinky Winky could be a hidden gay symbol
- purple is close to pink (which is the gay pride colour)
- has a triangular antenna on his head ("pink triangle" symbol of homosexuality)
- carries a red item of luggage (handbags usually used by women)
- in one episode is seen to try on a skirt
- largest of the Teletubbies (biggest role model, parent figure)
- controversy due to original actor's sexual orientation
"These subtle depictions are no doubt intentional, and parents are warned to be alert to these elements of the series," the magazine said.
Falwell denied any personal involvement with the original article
