Once you insist only one biological man and one biological woman constitute a marriage, you should really stop fretting the acceptability of your public witness on other matters. Don't be shrill, a hypocrite, or a charlatan, but we should stop playing to secular frames.
We must be morally consistent, of course, but "public witness" is an instrumental good, the fruit of which is the result of moral integrity for integrity’s sake owed to God, not being seen as “credible” in the eyes of the NYT editorial board, which will never like evangelicals.
We can never do better than Jesus Christ: He lived a life of perfect integrity, and yet also proclaimed the very disrupting idea of exclusivity. He still wound up an enemy of the state despite his integrity and consistency. And Winsomeness™️ did not prevent that from happening.
