Guardians of the Galaxy comic confirms Star-Lord is bisexual

Tbf, that's most Christian churches. I've seen religious Catholics that are against their church's homophobic ways
His church, Hillsong, is notoriously anti LGBT, and may actually be a grift taking advantage of troubled celebrities.
Is Chris Pratt’s evangelical church really welcoming to LGBTQ people?
Chris Pratt is a member of a new-style evangelical church that is modeled after the Hillsong megachurch whose pastor has said it doesn’t “affirm a gay lifestyle.”

He thought Chris Traeger was a beautiful man.
So we'll see him wink at a man in one scene in GOTG3 and that will be the "gay moment" that will be whispered about for 3 weeks before release. Got it.
He can attend the church and still disagree with the views that the place holds. I wouldn't automatically call people who go there extremely homophobic. I looked up celebrities who have went there and it lists so many high profile people like Selena Gomez or even Hailee Steinfeld who was cast as Kate Bishop. Some of these people are very vocal about supporting LGBT causes and giving a voice to underrepresented groups.
It also brings up the question regarding whether you can be Christian while also not be homophobic because the text Christians revere so much disparages people in LGBT communities. At the end of the day you can reject parts of the message.

Goddammit Andy.
Oh baby Marvel's been on that synergy life since the dawn of the millennium at least. They came up with a whole storyline just to give Peter Parker organic web-shooters and the first main X-Men series of the century had them in black leather jackets.
Just replace him with Rob mcelheney. He's way more ripped, is woker than Bautista and has been playing a gay dude for like 15 years.
Eternals is coming up soon with two major heroes in a gay relationship.
Sadly, this.
Star-Lord before the movies:
After the movies:
Yup. Remember when Star Lord was cool? I remember.
Granted, this makes reveal makes him a lot closer to being cool for other reasons.
Hey, sometimes it works. Iron Man was entirely unlikeable for the majority of his comic appearances. After RDJ brought such charisma and humor to the role, they pretty much made that the version we'd get going forward.Goddammit Andy.

There was also Blade in comics:
Blade in comics after the movies:
... But, yeah, mostly the movies influence the comics. Let me know when Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver are mutants and Magneto's kids again.
No one else is kinda bothered that this news is mostly being used ITT to attack Chris Pratt? Like just admit you don't care and only want to dump on someone you already don't like
he belongs to a church that it's founding church has some homophobic views, I don't Believe he has ever shared Those views on social media.
They'll hold hands for a single scene so they can edit it out for China.
Chris Pratt has always been ERA's one actor to dogpile on. At least now there are legitimate criticisms (such as him belonging to a church modelled after/founder Hillsong, he actually goes to a church called Zoe Church).
I remember the internet and some at era losing their minds because he prayed for Kevin Smith after his heart attack.

Oh I ain't hating on it, I just like to bring it up especially in regards to the MCU, since a lot of people have the misconception that the brand synergy is being enforced by Disney post-buyout, when in truth they've always been like this and it's just being noticed more now because Marvel has never had something as culturally impactful as the MCU before.
He follows some really shitty people though, so it's highly likely he's just not open about his views in order to not hurt his career.
He's been pretty damn silent on a lot things in the past year whereas other celebrities have made more open and positive stances.

2008 Guardians was so great, sarcastic dark humor Quill was a lot of fun.
Apparently there is a kiss but that's also easy to bury as we saw with star wars.
What's funny though is that there was recently a marvel movie that had a very prominent LGBT love story. Just so happens that nobody watched it.
New Mutants
not going to lie, twitter follows doesn't really move the needle that much for me. And while it's great that other actors are much more open and positive about their stances, that doesn't necessarily disqualify someone in my eyes.
that being said people like letitia Wright and Gina Corano definitely have much more to answer for.

Nope. Comic book Blade was redesigned in 1992 for Nightstalkers #1, and the movies were basically the same look.
Drat, I knew I'd be called out on skipping a few years.
Maybe they'll bring the red shirt back one day.
For the MCU movies they are afraid because if it's a too big part of the film then they cannot sell it in markets like China. So it usually end up being a scene that is easily cut or dubbed over with something else.
They might go all in with Young Avengers on Disney+ though as it won't matter on that front.
Marvel does create new characters that are gay/bi/trans - but they usual don't get too famous or they don't get threads made on Era.
Wiccan and Hulking are two of the most beloved characters in comics right now and they just got married.
Squirrel Girl's friend Koi Boi was trans but they never really came out and stated it-but the clues were there.
Someone asked the artist on Twitter and she confirmed:
A little offtopic but It really is a shame about Chris Pratt. Rewatching Parks and Rec, and he was so funny and charismatic. Even Guardians 1 he was extremely relatable and he fit the role well. Then it all sort of....spiraled down from there.
The backlash had nothing to with Bobby being gay (in fact if you have read since X-Men #1 by Lee and Kirby up until his outing Icemans entire arc makes a lot more sense as closeted versus straight) No the issue had to do with how Bendis just did it out of nowhere, had Jean read his mind and out him so both fictionally as a telepath and just in general that is two ethical no-no's that Bendis tried portraying as fine. Never mind the bi-phobia and erasure in the entire sequence.
As for thread topic, yeah Ewing is doing amazing work both conventionally and representation wise ( Trans stuff in Immortal Hulk) though Pete being Bi has nothing on Hercules and Marvel Boy hooking up mid-battle between different groups of guardians.
He seems to be firmly in the "my church is not homophobic, it welcomes everyone camp".
Ie the people who willingly ignore the leaders of the church who through words and actions doing the complete opposite to accepting everyone.
At best he is naive and ignorant, choosing to ignore the obvious hateful actions of his church to pretend he is still part of it without facing the truth. At worst he is straight up being dishonest and just doesn't want to damage his career.
I'd tend to think he is the type who strongly identifies as religious... without actually putting any actual thought into what that means. This isn't ideal but if the world could get back to religion just being a half assed idea it would probably be better.

Well, considering Hercules is involved, that's just being faithful to classical mythology, really. Bisexuality (or outright homosexuality) wasn't exactly uncommon in Greek myth (Achilles and Patroclus being the most prominent example), and I'm pretty sure Herakles had his fair share of male lovers.
Not diminishing it in any way, just amusing to me as a "well, no shit that Hercules is bi" sort of way.
Yeah as someone who doesn't follow Marvel stuff I'm confused. Are the MCU and comics separate universes?
Either way I'm not a fan. Either a character's sexuality is different depending on which cannon they're from or a bi character is going to be played by a straight guy who goes to a bigoted church. No thanks.
Yeah, and Marvel Hercules was already canonically Bi. It was more the fact that him and Noh-Varr Just start getting it on when there is a literal battle going on around them.
They ultimately are. While the movies take inspiration from the comics, and vice versa, ultimately they are entirely separate. The Guardians of the Galaxy in the films are barely anything like their incarnations in the comics, as much as I like both portrayals.
Yes. And i heard a rumour some months ago that he is also a trump supporter
