Chris Evans, the actor who brought the iconic superhero Captain America to life on screen, recently made some thought-provoking comments about his own brother's sexual orientation. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Evans revealed that he is proud of his older sibling for being gay and has always been supportive of him.

'I'm really happy for my brother,' Evans said during the conversation. 'He's a great guy.'

Evans' sentiments align perfectly with the values that Captain America himself embodies - courage, honor, and acceptance regardless of one's background or identity. However, in stark contrast to his on-screen alter ego, Chris Evans expressed deep disappointment with how society treats its LGBTQ+ members.

'I'm ashamed of our country,' he lamented during an interview with People Magazine last year. 'I think we're a really great people but I don't know what's happening right now.'

His comments come at a time when there has been growing public debate over issues affecting the queer community, including marriage equality and anti-discrimination laws.
