    When I was a kid in the 90s, I kept thinking about the Power Rangers and how they were kind of gay, and I felt kinda gay, but they were kind of lame, and I didn’t wanna be lame.

    So I got really into Star Trek in computers instead. I’m 47, and I’m confident that I made the correct decision. Star Trek definitely made me feel pretty OK about being gay, that’s for sure.

      I’m 42, and I felt like I was too old for power rangers after Season 1.

      You would have been close to 18 by the time the show debuted. I think I was 12 when it debuted, and outgrew it almost immediately.

      Maybe that’s why they felt lame to you. It was a kids show, and you were old enough to be in the Gulf war at the time it was happening.

        It was a long time ago. Difficult to remember. Plus, I was on a lot of drugs by then…
