News Flash: Jerry Farwell Dead

Time to celebrate! That's right, Jerry Farwell, hater of gays, is dead at 73.

Farwell, a television evangelist, founded the Moral Majority in 1979, and used the conservative Christian movement to mold the religious right into a political power whose influence continues (obviously) to this day.

While Perez Hilton is outing famous people left and right today, it was Jerry Farwell who first held this position when he outed children's favorite Teletubby Tinky Winky. Falwell claimed, "the character is clearly a fount of gayness. He is purple, the gay color, he has an antenna shaped like a triangle, the gay symbol, and he carries a purse, something all gay people do."

Well, this gay man is grabbing his purse, and flying out the door to grab a cosmopolitan to celebrate!
