Reasons Tinky Winky Can't Be Gay * The Purse doesn't match the shoes. Purple AND Red, I mean really, clash-o-rama! * He's kinda' obese. Everybody knows that gay men (especially public figures) are in remarkable shape. * That headpiece. Where I rate it for its FABULOUS height and tasteful shape, it really doesn't have much in the way of frills, its just a triangle. A true gay person would have accessorized it with beads, pearls, sequins and/or something frilly. * He hangs out in a meadow.....ummmm skip that one, George Michael in the park ruined that analogy for me. * He's a really bad dancer. Nuff said. * The name Tinky Winky. I don't know a gay man on the planet who would go with a name like that.... I mean HELLO, it screams "I'm small "down there" and I don't care who knows it"!
