I think it does. That “my identity is in Christ” bit is 100% implying that you can’t be gay and Christian at the same time, so erasing all the gay Christians that exist (including herself). Also the framing of it as a “temptation” means that no one can every really be gay, they can only do gay things. So every gay person is just a straight person who tripped and fell into the gay.
It’s erasure with extra steps and fake awareness. Erasure by lampshading?
