And he was NOT having it, responding to the fan:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor what? Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him?

Gunn seems to be referring to the\u00a0<strong>Hillsong Church<\/strong> controversy. Pratt has been seen in attendance at the formerly very popular Christian church, along with such celebs like\u00a0<strong>Hailey<\/strong> and <strong>Justin Bieber<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kendall<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Kylie Jenner<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Nick Jonas<\/strong>, <strong>Kyrie Irving<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Vanessa Hudgens<\/strong>. It used to be a real hot spot for the famous faithful.<\/p>\n<p>Then it came out that Hillsong had supported conversion therapy, the harmful practice of trying to brainwash LGBT youths into not being gay anymore. It\u2019s hardly the only Christian sect that had a terrible track record with conversion specifically or homophobic practices <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly. But then there were lots of other unsavory ingredients that also came out about Hillsong, and, well, it\u2019s been a whole thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Carl Lentz Sexual Abuse Allegations From Nanny \u2014 Who Says Wife KNEW!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Throughout all this, the scandal of the church has hung around on one celeb in particular. <strong>Elliot Page<\/strong> blasted Chris Pratt, saying he should address his church\u2019s \u201cinfamously anti lgbtq\u201d views. After a few days of controversy, the\u00a0<em>Parks and Recreation<\/em> alum actually did put out a statement, saying his church was not anti-LGBTQ and in fact \u201copen their doors to absolutely everyone\u201d and offers \u201clove and support\u201d to members \u201cregardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.\u201d Furthermore, he added that he himself, separate from his faith, was firmly against homophobia of any kind:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy faith is important to me but no church defines me or my life, and I am not a spokesman for any church or any group of people. My values define who I am. We need less hate in this world, not more. I am a man who believes that everyone is entitled to love who they want free from the judgment of their fellow man.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Back on Twitter on Monday, Gunn also alluded to his leading man having left Hillsong, along with quite a few others in recent months, writing to another fan who said he\u2019s part of a church that supports conversion therapy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe isn\u2019t. I know the church he currently goes to. Do you? (The answer is you don\u2019t, but you heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone where he goes to church, so decided, \u201cyeah, okay, I\u2019ll believe this terrible thing I heard online about this celebrity!\u201d)\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s true. Apart from being open about his Christianity, Chris doesn\u2019t really speak about which church he goes to. So people don\u2019t really know.<\/p>\n<p>We suppose he could have told everyone he left Hillsong. But it seems he\u2019s stopped trying to defend himself against the haters, who didn\u2019t believe his statement the first time anyway.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll just say this: if Chris Pratt actually said some homophobic s**t, wouldn\u2019t we be the first site to blast the man?? He hasn\u2019t, not that we\u2019ve seen. And yet\u2026 The whole \u2018Chris Pratt is homophobic\u2019 thing only stuck around. But just on him. Not on any other Christian celebrities. No one is calling for <strong>Hailee Steinfeld<\/strong> to turn in her badge and bow \u2018n\u2019 arrow.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly feels like the hate for Pratt comes first, and the reason comes after, doesn\u2019t it? Hence the reading of a message of gratitude for his wife and daughter as shade against his ex and his own son, something that would have felt like quite a stretch if it were any other celebrity.<\/p>\n<p>Well, someone decided to fight back against the internet consensus about Chris. His collaborator of several years and good friend \u2014 the same man whom Chris stood by, when the right-wing Pizzagate crowd was trying to get canceled because he was so vocally anti-Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Look, we\u2019ll just end by saying feel how you want about Chris Pratt. No one is telling you that you need to like every celeb. But Gunn is right; if you\u2019re going to attack people online, don\u2019t do it based on bad information and guesses. It\u2019s neither fair nor kind.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Image via James Gunn\/Twitter\/Marvel\/YouTube.]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
