For anyone who grew up in the 90s, The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was required daily viewing. Even though you couldn't pay me to watch the show now, back then I, like millions of other kids, was addicted, collecting toys, fanclub merchandise(which I still have) and even Tommy's (the Green Ranger's) karate video. Little did I know however, that one of the rangers was on our team ( I guess was too busy staring at the Black Ranger). David Yost, the actor who played Billy, talks about the homophobic abuse he suffered from producers and crew members on the show, as well as his stint in a "Pray The Gay Away" program. The video is kind of sad to watch, but it does have a happy ending. Watch it below:
