I mean you've fixated on the color so much you have not even presented how you think the character should be written. The argument can be made that if it was a gay character it would bring about an "Oh of course" response, but if he's presented and written as a strong character than doesn't it get the same results? Common sense dictates that it would.

However you do not use common sense. As I have stated with others multiple times, these topics are basically your soapbox where you can spew your opinion. If any of us disagree or challenge that opinion you simply wave the possible discussion off or tell us that we're wrong because it isn't what you specifically want. You claim to want equality but constantly state that only a specific type of character can utilize what you claim needs to be showcased to show equality. It doesn't really matter if Nickelodeon has a character that wears pink, or if another network has a character wearing pink. The color does not dictate the personality or how they are written, nor does it ensue that they will be a good character from a written standpoint, acting standpoint, or fan reaction standpoint. Your logic is just plain and simply absurd.

I'm not sure why you're so fixated on sexuality when it comes to color and characters. Perhaps you're not sure of your own sexuality and your personal preferences to specific colors, so you think up these ideas as a way to dictate how something may be as a way to distract yourself or get out any ill will towards these thoughts. However in the end it doesn't really matter what your reasoning is, the fact of the matter is that you are creating topics as a way to preach your own ideology. Anybody who does not conform or meet your exact thoughts or qualifications do not matter or exist. They are not good for a forum based around discussion if you never acknowledge and discuss, you ignore and go about promoting your own thought process. These topics are all basically the same and if you limited it in the beginning to just one "What Colors Would You Like to See in Power Rangers" topic than really there wouldn't be a problem, though I suspect even there you'd put down other members' opinions. In the end I don't think this is truly about color, no, for your topics always have this overhead question of sexuality in them which is, frankly, unneeded. We may be at a place in time where we're seeing more sexuality hinted at in shows, but that doesn't mean we need it in every show or to be at the forefront of every debate. And considering you're being rather negative in how it has to be executed it just leads to nothing more than a person showing just how insecure they are with that topic, and possibly with themselves.

I ask this for all of the members on the forum who have grown very sour of your little "discussions;" please stop creating them. They lead to nothing and offer nothing. Please, once more, just stop.

To be fair, no matter how amazing said character could be written, that's like if Gaim had an African Rider who's lockseed was a Watermelon. There are too many negative images and words tied with the combo for it to be a good idea.

Not agreeing with MPR, but the "Oh of course" response is likely as far as most people will get when they view a gay ranger + pink. Common sense is surprisingly not as common as we make it out to be.
