Blue Power Ranger Reveals He Quit Show 'Over Gay Insults'
David Yost, who played nerdy triceratops commander Billy on the '90s kids show Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, revealed that he left the series because he was "called 'f*ggot' one too many times [by the show's] creators, producers, writers, directors." He added that he became "worried that I might take my own life." Sad. Arguably, if Yost had come out with this confessional during the run of the show, some of Rita Repulsa's most destructive anti-gay initiatives could have been derailed. [TMZ]

And yet the Red Ranger was the one who did gay porn.
This news comes about 17 years too late.
i always thought he was gay
Yes I'm gay, you have a problem with that? Pussies are for pussies, dicks are for real men.
Movieline, why have you not deleted the SIGMA comment? You are too good for that.
I'm on it! Sorry, sometimes I get to comments a little late.
Billy was always the only one that could actually ACT.
@Turdblossom: I so agree
@Sigma: Someday you will look back at writing this crap and cry on your man's shoulder.
@Bagel: I so agree
So, are we stuck? Is there anything we can do to make things better? Yes! There is! I work at home, have a domestic helper, grandparents live 5 minutes from our place.
