From the article, with some edits

:
"In an article called Parents Alert: Tinky Winky Comes Out of the Closet, he says: "He is purple - the gay-pride colour; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay-pride symbol."
Children, however, probably don't know this. I certainly didn't.He said the "subtle depictions" of gay sexuality are intentional and later issued a statement that read: "As a Christian I feel that role modelling the gay lifestyle is damaging to the moral lives of children."
Maybe this is why quite a few people don't like Religion?In the same article he also condemned the US animated show South Park as "vile and impudent".
South Park is of course, absolute genius."

This is a really, really good example of why so many people cringe at the word "Religion". By showing his rather strange views as decidedly "Christian", he puts his religion down.
I am not Religious, by the way. I am very much the opposite.
