4. If we treat them like the "other" and demonize them, they will not even hear us
The first step has to be to soften the hatred and even paranoia on both extremes. I would bet that many of the people in Warren's flock are people that if you lived next door to them would be basically nice decent people.

I don't know if the arguments written in Newsweek would reach someone in Warren's flock, but they might - especially if they have a relative or a child of a friend who they love who is gay. It could help them reconcile what were two opposing clashing values.
