  That was one of the worst revelations. I feel so bad for how he was treated. Blue ranger was one of my favorite characters in the show too.

    I met him at a convention. He was surprisingly short. Me and my buds asked him why he didn’t continue with power rangers and he said he wasn’t a fan of the violence and wanted to do less violent things. This was before I had found out about the homophobia. I wonder if he was being genuine about his stated reason.

      The bullying was violence.
