After Chris Pratt appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” last week, a Twitterstorm erupted over a tweet posted by actress Ellen Page.
On the show, Pratt discussed the impact his church has had on his life and his choice to do the “Daniel Fast.”
“Oh. K. Um. But his church is infamously lgbtq so maybe address that too?” wrote Page.

“If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don’t be surprised if someone simply wonders why it’s not addressed,” she added.
While the “Jurassic World” star currently attends Zoe Church in L.A., various media outlets claimed that he’s affiliated with Hillsong.
Pratt responded to the backlash resulting from the tweet in an Instagram story:
“It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which hates a certain group of people and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone.
Despite what the Bible says about my divorce, my church community was there for me every step of the way, never judging, just gracefully accompanying me on my walk. They helped me tremendously offering their love and support. It is what I have seen them do for others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.
