No actually Tinky Winky is a guy but if you don't know, he was represented as gay because purple is the color for being gay pride and so is the triangle. It's on Wikipedia.
"Jerry Falwell claimed in 1999 that Tinky Winky, one of the Teletubbies, was a homosexual role model for children. Falwell based this conclusion on the character's purple colour and triangular antenna; both the colour purple and the triangle are sometimes used as symbols of the Gay Pride movement"

Not sure if its true tho :/
Sorry, I really don't know the genders of the various Teletubbies but I always thought Tinky Winky was a girl since he carried around that purse, but I guess now I've been wrong for like my entire life :/
