Page wrote in a tweet, "If you're a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don't be surprised if someone wonders why it hasn't been addressed." " "It's wrong to be anti-LGBTQ, there aren't two sides. The damage it does is serious. Full stop. Sending love to all."
The Jurassic World actor replied on Instagram.
"It's been suggested recently that I belong to a church that 'hates people' and is 'notoriously anti-LGBTQ,'" Pratt said. "Nothing can be further from the truth. I go to a church that opens its doors to all."
