Seeing homosexual people depicted positively in Once & The Authority Rangers movie is making big waves for the LGBT community. Somehow it's and the production marks the first-ever superhero show to feature a queer protagonist character. Though small, the scene in which the character—Trini, the Yellow Dominance Ranger played by Becky G—is pivotal for the film as we observe her come to terms with her sexuality. When one character asks about her "boyfriend problems," we soon realize that she may actually be having "girlfriend problems." Director Dean Israelite tells The Hollywood Reporter, "For Trini, really she's questioning a lot about who she is. She hasn't fully figured it out yet. I think what's wonderful about that scene and what that scene propels for the rest of the movie is, 'That's OK.' The movie is saying, 'That's OK,' and all of the kids have to own who they are and detect their tribe." In the first Power Rangers series, Trini was portrayed as linear, but the change is definitely receivi In the episode "Matchmaker," which aired in France but might air on Nickelodeon on October 9th. Javi thinks Izzy has a crush on a lad but finds it out it is actually on a fellow athlete Fern (who previously appeared in episode "Winning Attitude"). Some fans previously guessed Izzy was supposed to be gay. Some of those fans even saw her removing the skirt as evidence of her being lgbtq+. I didn't think so because it could have all just been a coincidence and also I didn't think Power Rangers would dare to
As a gay dude (who wears pink on occasion, just like every man born after , 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 set 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 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.
