An evangelical Christian group is using social media to promote the scientifically discredited and flat-out lethal idea that gay, lesbian, or bisexual people can change their sexual orientation if they pray hard enough.

Anchored North, a conservative Christian charity, tells the story of a young woman named Emily Thomes in a video titled Love is Love. Thomes says that after studying the Bible and repenting of her sins, she was able to leave her super wild life as a lesbian and marry a man.

The video appears to be designed to attract the attention of young queer people or teens who are questioning their sexuality. Love is Love is a phrase often used to promote acceptance of LGBTQ relationships. Anchored North also used a rainbow flag in the videos thumbnail, appropriating what has become a unifying symbol of the gay rights movement.

The first few moments of the video seem innocent enough with scenes of teens dancing to catchy party music and two girls laughing and holding hands while walking down a street. Thomes is presented as a relatable narrator, introducing herself as someone who fell in love with a girl when she was 15 and soon started proudly identifying as gay.

But, despite the videos friendlier packaging, Thomes claims that queer people can change their sexual orientation if they try.

People say to me all the time, I was born this way. I say, OK, yeah, me too, she says at one point in the video. Youre not born with right affections. Thats why Jesus had to come. You feeling a desire for sin just proves you need grace like me.

Even though the world would paint a totally different story about what sexuality is and isnt, Gods word is clear and he can save and he does and he will, she adds.
