The problem is, it's real. https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Conversion-Therapy-LGBT-Youth-Jan-2018.pdf. That doesn't mean that all Christians do it, but some do. A former pastor in our church worked with homeless kids in San Francisco. Many of them were gay kids who had been thrown out on the street by their parents. Of course not all of those parents were Christian, but some were.The movie is I think intended to associate christianity and church with bigotry and ignorance. Many will see this movie and never set foot in church again. It is that disturbing. The message is Christians will reject you and disown you if you are gay. It's very convincing to young minds
The response can't be "this doesn't happen," but "most Christians wouldn't do that, and neither we nor our church would do that." But remember, when you talk about "Christians will reject you," that doesn't mean just sending people to these camps. By most people's definition, accepting someone means welcoming them as a church member, giving them leadership and teaching roles you'd give anyone else with similar qualifications. Do you really think most Christian churches would do that? If not, any reasonably intelligent young person will doubt your statement about not rejecting gays.
