After attacking Chris Pratt for his church attendance on Friday, Umbrella Academy actress Ellen Page would take to Twitter to explain why she attacked Chris Pratt.
Page would write, “If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don’t be surprised if someone simply wonders why it’s not addressed. Being anti LGBTQ is wrong, there aren’t two sides. The damage it causes is severe. Full stop. Sending love to all.”

Page would add, “If lgbtq+ people are expressing their pain, their trauma, their experiences…maybe just try and listen? Open your heart, stop being defensive and have compassion. It’s a beautiful and life changing feeling, empathy.
Much love truly to all.”

Former King of Queens actress and former Scientology member Leah Remini would also weigh in stating she agrees with Page. Remini would proceed to point out a number of celebrities involved in Scientology and questioned what their stance on the LGBTQ community was.
Page would retweet Remini.
Ellen Page will star in Netflix’s Umbrella Academy, which is expected to debut on the streaming network on February 15, 2019.

Chris Pratt has not responded to Page’s initial attack against him.
What do you make of Page’s explanation? Do you think she is just looking for attention? Do you think she is actively trying to attack Christians and their beliefs?
