Do you tink tinkey winkey from teletubbies is gay? And what are you're opinions about all of the "hidden messages" in teletubbies. Is it just coincidence or is there a secret conspiracy?

I do not think that Tinky Winky is gay. The person inside the costume is actually a professional ballet dancer, that is why Tinky Winky dances around and wears a tutu (sp).

I didn't know that :-) Certainly explains his gracefulness. And you know, maybe that is why the nasty rumor started in the first place---sometimes people put that 'label' on male dancers, hair dressers, you name it. I still like the lil guys though--they are still cute to me LOL

I used to see them when my son was small. It is a baby show & they are characters that they can identify with color & sound. Infants don't grasp 'gay' or straight or any odd concept like that. I doubt there are secret messages, & I really doubt there is a conspiracy!

You are probably right. But still.. Tinkey Winkeys voice is surely male, and his favorite item is a small ladys handbag, and then there is something about his color. I've once heard that purple is the international gay-color.

I have no idea, and I got really sick of hearing about this when it first came out! Lol I don't know if he's gay, but even if he wasn't, Teletubbies is a stupid show and it teaches children absolutely nothing! I wouldn't let me child watch it.

I don't think that a baby show like telitubbies has any hiden messages in it!! it keeps my little sister from shouting all the day so I see no reason why kids should stop watching that! besides! what possibly could be with it?? a kid with a bag?

I don't think that there is any hidden messages or that there is anything wrong with the teletubbies. When my oldest daughter was little they were first coming out and she absolutely loved them. We still have all of the talking teletubbies and we even have the one Po that was 'banned' I think that people read too much into things that aren't there. I also think that the British accent can throw off how things sound to Americans.
