Man, people hate Chris Pratt!
The Jurassic World star is like the cilantro of Hollywood. We all thought he was appropriately spicy for a baked potato and then all of a sudden every fourth person says he actually tastes like soap and is completely unbearable.
Ostensibly this is because of a perceived homophobia, but… is it really?
The wave of hate for Pratt crested yet again over the past week after the long-awaited reveal of the Thor: Love and Thunder trailer, in which Marvel‘s other, other Chris reprises his role as Star-Lord. For many, seeing Pratt in their Thor movie was the fly in their soup, and they once again made this very well known on social media.

One such viral tweet, asking Marvel Studios to just replace Chris with Patrick Wilson, made its way to the very Twitter-active James Gunn, writer-director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films. And he was NOT having it, responding to the fan:
Whoa! Gunn seems to be referring to the Hillsong Church controversy. Pratt has been seen in attendance at the formerly very popular Christian church, along with such celebs like Hailey and Justin Bieber, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Nick Jonas, Kyrie Irving, and Vanessa Hudgens. It used to be a real hot spot for the famous faithful.
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’s hardly the only Christian sect that had a terrible track record with conversion specifically or homophobic practices generally. But then there were lots of other unsavory ingredients that also came out about Hillsong, and, well, it’s been a whole thing.
