Actor Chris Pratt has come out and defended his church after fellow actor Ellen Page claimed it was "infamously anti-LGBTQ" in a tweet. The 39-year-old actor, who mainly attends the popular Hillsong Church, shared a very long comment on his Instagram story on February 11 in which he pointedly denied Page's claims. He wrote: "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."

Pratt also referred to his divorce from Anna Faris, that happened last year, as an example of how the church supported him. He continued: "Despite what the Bible says about 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 love and support. It is what I have seen them do for others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender."
