Didn't know about the Dumping Ground thing though. Obviously the BBC is really trying to push things in the direction, which is good.

I have no issue with a gay ranger, however, if Power Rangers also has a male Pink Ranger in the future, I would prefer the male Pink Ranger not to be a gay character since it promotes the stereotype that any man who wears pink is gay, which is false (gay men are actually less likely to wear pink than straight men except in adult TV shows and movies). Yes, everyone should know I am obsessed with having a male Pink Ranger, however, I definitely would prefer for him not to be gay.

I personally think a gay Ranger would work better as a Green or Black Ranger, since it would give more focus and emphasis to those Ranger colors who normally don't get much focus.

What does anyone here think?

To be honest, i think we could have already have had a gay ranger, but since when has someone's sexuality been someone's defining characteristic? I know this is power rangers where the main ingredient for acting is ham, but if they were to do it, they shouldn't draw attention to it and just include it and treat him/her as any other character.

It doesn't really feel that way, but whatever. I really don't give a shit about garbage from the 60's. If believing it wasn't for kids helps you sleep at night, then go for it.
