YOST ‘COMES OUT’ AS GAY
Actor DAVID YOST has ended years of speculation surrounding his sexuality by ‘coming out’ as gay - and he’s taken aim at the creators of U.S. TV s eries MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS for discriminating against him.
The star, who played Blue Ranger Billy Cranston from 1993 to 1996 and i n a 1995 feature film, reveals to nopinkspandex.com he eventually quit th e show because he was constantly harassed for being gay.
And Yost, now 41, says his treatment was so bad he suffered a nervous b reakdown and struggled to accept his sexuality following his departure.
He says, "I was called f**got one too many times (by the show’s) creato rs, producers, writers, directors.
"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." Yost quit Hollywood for several years following his departure but recen tly went back to work and has completed a new 2010 film, Degenerate. (JMA
