Tinky Winky Finally Breaks Silence On Jerry Falwell
Eight years ago the Rev. Jerry Falwell warned parents that BBC children's television star Tinky Winky was a hidden symbol of homosexuality. Falwell died Tuesday at 73, and the world wanted to talk to Tinky Winky. When asked about Falwell's death, Winky turns serious and chooses his words carefully."I'm not going to pretend I'm sadder than I am," he says. "There were late nights during the dark times when I wished to hear news like this."
"At the end of the day, I'm not terribly sad, and I think a lot of people feel the same way. Jerry Falwell was a divisive person, a hateful person, and what I've tried to be all about, in the Teletubbies days and since then, has been love. I've got to keep it that way. I don't want anybody feeling good about it when it's my time for Tubby bye-bye."
