“I need a video of Chris Pratt discovering Star-Lord is bisexual.”
This week, the Guardians of the Universe fandom learned in a new comic that Peter Quill – aka Star-Lord – is bisexual. This character is played by Chris Pratt in the movies.
Pratt, as you may have heard, is a member of the controversial Hillsong Church religious organization. As reported by the Daily Beast, Hillsong has a “long history of gay conversion therapy and declines leadership roles for LGBTQ people.”

Over the years, Pratt’s personal views of LGBTQ people have occasionally been called into question. Notably, in 2019, Elliot Page called out the actor in a viral tweet for belonging to a church that was “notoriously anti-LGBTQ”.
Oh. K. Um. But his church is notoriously anti-Lgbtq, so maybe tackle that too? https://t.co/meg8m69FeF
In response, Pratt posted a statement claiming that Hillsong was not anti-LGBTQ, saying the church is “opening their doors to absolutely everyone.” In evidence of this, he noted that he was welcomed into the church after his split from Anna Faris, “despite what the Bible says about divorce.” He added, “I am a man who believes that everyone has the right to love whomever they want, free from the judgment of their fellow man.”
Well, fast forward to this week’s revelation that Star-Lord is bisexual … and people are wondering exactly what Chris Pratt thinks about the news.
I wonder what #ChrisPratt’s reaction was when he found out #Marvel has confirmed that StarLord Peter Quill is bisexual! He belongs to an anti-LGBTQ church, in case you don’t know.
Some people on Twitter think the actor wouldn’t be too happy with the development, given his ties to Hillsong.

Others, meanwhile, are righteous really enjoy this unexpected turn of events.

Personally, I’m just happy to see more bisexual representation in the Marvel comics, and hope the storyline makes it into their cinematic universe soon – with an actor playing 100% for the role.
