David Yost, who played the blue Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, discusses the harassment he suffered being gay on set. (Also, according to Wikipedia, "He was the only Ranger to appear in every single episode of the original series." Who knew?) This is clearly also all Ken Mehlman's fault. (via Towleroad)

The skinny geeky one who never quite fit in and ended up being the "Ai-yi-yi!" robot's replacement was gay?!
Wait, wasn't the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers a Japanese show that was just redubbed into English?
Close. All the fight scenes were ripped from a 70s-or-so-era Japanese show. All the scenes where they weren't in costume were filmed in USistan.

OH GOD THE MUSIC!!!
According to Wikipedia, he was the Triceratops, which has also been in the news lately.
don't get me started.
My friend wrote this, about that: http://successisnotanoption.tumblr.com/post/898332706/puppies-never-existed-so-this-little-item-made
Tell your friend to *call me.
I know :) I remembered reading one of your posts and nodding my head vigorously
I'm still pissed some Triceratops ate our 9th planet. My whole childhood was one big lie.
Wait, didn't Saban also famously not allow any of the actors to join SAG? Man, the Clinton fund-raising platinum club was full of WINNERS.
Saban is entirely fucked: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/05/10/100510fa_fact_bruck
OMG, I had SUCH a crush on him. If it weren't for the unfortunate hair he seems to be sporting right now, I'd dance for joy that I actually have a chance!
There is no shame in being gay. There might be some shame for having been on POWER RANGERS. Ya hear me, Minka Kelly and Amy Jo Johnson?
