Rotund, purple character in the for-toddlers television show, "Teletubbies".

Became a symbol of gay pride after reverend Jerry Falwell warned parents in 1999 not to allow their children to watch the show because Tinkie Winkie was gay.

The evidence: He's purple (a gay color), has a triangle on his head (a gay symbol) and carries a "purse" which was actually a bag.
Parent: We should do as the reverend suggests. The influence of Tinkie Winkie may be long lasting and Ezekiel may one day bring home a boyfriend!

Tinky Winky is the tallest (and most noticable) Telletubby.

He is purple, with a purple triangle-shaped stem on his head. He enjoys singing, dancing, toting his pink purse, and most likely frequenting gay clubs after a hard day in Telletubby land.
Dipsy: Tinky Winky! Will you play with Laa-Laa's ball?

Tinky Winky: Dipsy, you and I both know you aren't articulate enough to form those sentences!

Dipsy: Oh... Erm, Tinky-Winky play with ball?

Tinky Winky: How about we play with two, big boy?

Dipsy: (cries)

Being paraniod about homosexuality and always looking to uncover it. Reading into every little thing in an effort to prove that something is gay while ignoring anything that may contradict this belief. For example, assuming a fictional creature is gay because of its skin color or fashion sense while ignoring the fact that it doesn't have genitals.
I can't believe how tinky winky the boss is. He figured I was gay just for using a purple post it.
