(CNN) Chris Evans blasted a group of men planning to hold a "Straight Pride" parade in his hometown of Boston as "homophobic" on Wednesday.

The Marvel star took to Twitter to tell the men that instead of focusing on people's sexual orientation, they should look inside themselves.

"Wow! Cool initiative, fellas!! Just a thought, instead of 'Straight Pride' parade, how about this: The 'desperately trying to bury our own gay thoughts by being homophobic because no one taught us how to access our emotions as children' parade? Whatta ya think? Too on the nose??" Evans tweeted to 12.2 million followers.

He added, "Wow, the number gay/straight pride parade false equivalencies are disappointing. ... Instead of going immediately to anger (which is actually just fear of what you don't understand) take a moment to search for empathy and growth."
