Fans Overjoyed After 'Power Rangers' Series Confirms Ranger Is Queer In History-Making First

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR POWER RANGERS DINO FURY

The Power Rangers TV show is making history in an upcoming episode and introducing the first Ranger that's also an out-and-proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.


As fans of the long-running action franchise await its return from hiatus, other countries are already seeing episodes of the international release of Power Rangers Dino Fury. In episode 13, appropriately titled "The Matchmaker", it's revealed Izzy the Green Ranger is queer.

Clips of the scene from the French release have been going around online.


The episode sees another ranger try to set Izzy up on a date, but as per the Power Rangers formula, a monster attacks and makes things worse.

At the end of the episode, Izzy is seen planning a date with her former rival Fern, as the two walk off holding hands.

Many fans of the Rangers couldn't believe it.





While Izzy is the first queer ranger in the TV show, she isn't the first queer ranger in history.

The 2017 film adaption had its version of the Yellow Ranger, Trini Kwan, coming to terms with her sexuality over the course of the movie. And the officially licensed comic book series produced by BOOM! Studios introduced Ellarien, the Pink Solar Ranger, who shared her powers with her girlfriend Remi.

For such a popular and long running series, it's a little slow, but progress is being made.






Not everyone was convinced, however.

It's been long prevalent in news and media reporting that romantic relationships between women are downplayed to just being really good friends or "gal pals."

However, rest assured this is not the case here, no matter what some fans want to believe.





Power Rangers Dino Fury is currently on hiatus in the United States, with the first half of the season premiering on Nickelodeon at the start of the year and the second half resuming later this month.

It's also available on Netflix, though you'll have to wait a little longer to see this iconic moment if you decide to wait for the new episodes to show up there.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
