You should be free to boycott Chic-Fil-A. Chic-Fil-A should be free to give you a reason to boycott them. A world in which your or Chic-Fil-A's freedom is impinged is a sorry world.
I worked at Wal-mart for a number of years, in which time I encountered hundreds of people who were unpleasant, nasty, abusive, or for other reasons, I just did not like them very much. According to the rules of my employer, I had to serve every customer, whether or not I wanted to.
If a business has the right be discriminating when it comes to who they serve, then it only makes sense that this same right extends to individual employees. They should have the right to refuse to deal with anybody they don't feel like dealing with, for whatever reason. If it is imposing upon a company's rights for the government to demand that they serve people they do not like, should a company likewise not be allowed to take away their employee's right not to serve people they don't like?
