"The guy who played the &lt;strong&gt;Blue Ranger &lt;/strong&gt;on the \"&lt;strong&gt;Mighty Morphin Power Rangers&lt;/strong&gt;\" series has just revealed that he's gay -- and dropped a huge bombshell ... that he quit the show because he was harassed over his sexuality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/08/26/0826-david-yost-ranger-bn.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Power Ranger Gay\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actor &lt;strong&gt;David Yost&lt;/strong&gt; -- who played the B.R. from 1993 to 1996 -- just gave an interview to \"&lt;strong&gt;No Pink Spandex&lt;/strong&gt;\" -- and explained, \"I was called 'f*ggot' one too many times [by the show's] creators, producers, writers, directors.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yost added, \"I know that my co-stars were called in a couple of times to different producers' offices and questioned about my sexuality, which is kind of a humiliating experience to find that out.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yost claims it got so bad on the show that he became \"worried that I might take my own life.\"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, Yost took a break from Hollywood ... and only recently decided to start acting again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calls to Saban Entertainment -- which produced Power Rangers -- have not been returned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
