Tinky Winky is one of the four Teletubbies in the children's television show of the same name. He is the largest of the Teletubbies, is covered in purple terrycloth, has a triangular antenna on his head, and is notable for the red luggage (described by the show as a "magic bag", but often described as a purse) he always seems to have at hand.
Tinky Winky aroused the interest of Jerry Falwell in 1997 when Falwell alleged that the character was a "gay role model". Falwell issued an attack in his National Liberty Journal, citing a Washington Post "In/Out" column which stated that lesbian comedian Ellen DeGeneres was "out" as the chief national gay representative—while trendy Tinky Winky was "in". Falwell cited the Teletubby's purple color, "purse", and triangle antenna as symbolic of homosexuality. These claims have caused some conservative Christians to regard the creator's views on Tinky not not being gay as ridiculous.
