If Saban
were ever
to entertain the idea of a gay male ranger, it'd be
the most
tone-deaf idea to make him a Pink Ranger.
As a gay dude (who wears pink on occasion, just like every man born after 1980, duh), I'd find the notion
utterly, completely, unforgivably
offensive. It would be the equivalent of making the first Yellow Ranger an Asian-American or the first Black Ranger an African-American (so, uh, is not something I'd put past Saban, honestly
). It would be so dumb, moronic, and ill-advised you hope it wouldn't ever be possible.
A ranger's color is more than just a fashion choice -- it's a representation of an archetype. It's THE ONLY distinguishing element that (s)he presents to the world. Pink, fairly or not, is culturally an archetypal "girl" color (this is dumb, obviously, but in 2016 it's still an inescapable truth). And since the "screaming queen" is a pejorative gay stereotype, it'd would be best for Saban to avoid perpetuating said stereotype by making their hypothetical, first gay male ranger pink.
If there were like, 10 straight male pink rangers or 10 gay non-pink rangers, it would be another thing altogether. But since we've had neither a gay ranger nor a male pink ranger, a gay male pink ranger is one of the most offensive proposals ever conceived.
