Lesbian actress and left-wing activist Ellen Page accused actor Chris Pratt of belonging to a church that “hates a certain group of people” over the weekend, despite the Guardians of the Galaxy star’s Bible-believing church being largely silent on homosexuality. Last week, Pratt appeared on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, where he discussed attempting the Daniel Fast , named after the prophet Daniel and consisting of 21 days of prayer, drinking only water, and eating only fruits, vegetables, and grains. “I was inspired by my pastor to do it.

Josh Canfield, a Broadway performer, told Playbill earlier this year that he had become engaged to his boyfriend, Reed Kelly. Both had been featured on the reality show “Survivor: San Juan del Sur —Blood vs. Water.” He outlined that he is a choir director at Hillsong New York City and that he had admitted his homosexuality to his church. “I became truthful with my church,” Canfield said. “I’m a part of Hillsong NYC. I’m one of their choir directors. I also sing on their worship team.” But he stated that after coming out to his congregation, “nothing changed.” “They’ve been amazing as well,” Canfield explain
