Chris Hemsworth Wants You to Vote for Marriage Equality, But Where Do the Other Chrises Stand?

Chris Hemsworth, the most Aussie of the Chrises, has interrupted his Thor: Ragnarok tour to remind Australians to enrol for the impending marriage equality postal survey.
“Dear open minded, free speaking, laid back, life loving aussies,” he wrote.
“Marriage is about love and commitment and, in a country based on equal citizenship, it should be available to everyone! Vote now for marriage equality ✌️#equality”
Remember, you can enrol to vote here, but you only have until 6pm AEST on Thursday, August 24 to get on the electoral roll. (Psst, that’s today!) Otherwise, you will not be eligible to vote. You can also check your enrolment here, to ensure you’re on the roll. If you recently moved, better update your details.
Hemsworth's message got us wondering: Where do the other Chrises stand on the subject of marriage equality?
Chris Evans: The most outspoken of all the Chrises, Chris Evans, came out in favour of same-sex marriage while promoting The Avengers back in 2012; before it was even legalised in America.
“It’s insane that civil rights are being denied people in this day and age,” he told Playboy at the time.
“It’s embarrassing, and it’s heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I’m completely in support of gay marriage. In 10 years we’ll be ashamed that this was an issue.” (Same-sex marriage was legalised in the United States in June of 2015.)
Chris Pine: Well, we certainly know how Chris Pyne feels about legalising same-sex marriage, but what about his American counterpart?

The Wonder Woman star was interviewed by Out magazine in 2013, and though they didn’t get his thoughts on marriage equality, he did talk about his first time “playing gay” on screen, as well as how he supported Star Trek co-star Zachary Quinto’s coming out.
He also told the Hollywood Reporter, “it’s about f***ing time,” when it was announced CBS would have a queer character in their new Star Trek show. And this is what he had to say on the subject of Sulu being gay in the rebooted movie series: “If there’s one kid in Middle America who feels any amount of self-loathing because he feels different, or is being bullied because he feels different or looks different or sounds different, if our film can give him solace and make him or her feel less alone, then abso-effin-loutely we should do it all the time, every day of the week."
Chris Pratt: Though this Guardian of the Galaxy keeps his politics close to his considerable chest, he’s become something of a conservative icon. Recently, he controversially said “the voice of the average, blue-collar American isn’t necessarily represented in Hollywood,” before walking it back on Twitter.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any Pratt-specific commentary on gay rights. (The closest we got? The time he agreed it would be hot if he hooked up with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr.) If we’ve missed anything, however, feel free to send it through.
