What must we do -- what, if anything, CAN we do so that when people hear that we're some kind of Christian there first thought is, "Oh, those freaks who think God loves us," rather than, "Oh, those freaks who think homosexual behavior is wrong."

"Oh, so God loves us. That means He wants us to be happy. Being gay makes them happy, so they should be allowed to be who they are and even get married b/c that makes them happy. What do you mean 'God doesn't allow that'? Why do you hate gay people so much? God loves us, why can't you just love?"

You can't win with these people.

Well the stock answer is that happiness without justice is impossible and that for the rational animal happiness means living in accordance with Natural Law.

But they don't have a sense of what Natural Law is or a sense that God is Justice itself. So there's a lot of work to be done.
