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]
