If what he or she believes in is discrimination, then it is discrimination regardless of whether they stand up for it or not.
So, then discrimination is in the eye of the beholder? All subjective, is it? As in, if I FEEL/BELIEVE I have been offended, then you must apologize (even if you didn't commit an offense?) It's what I feel that matters, right? If I FEEL I have been discriminated against, then I have been, right?
What happened to law? Are we a nation of feelings, not a nation of laws? all the other situations you mentioned are matters that pertain to existing law. Don't like them? work with your legislators to change them. Don't try to convince ME that your position is right. It just might be that I don't FEEL it is right, therefore, by your own argument, your position isn't right.
What the heck is going on with the Chick Fil A and this boycott of their business? Is America simply going CRAZY?
today was the first time i had chick fil a. had to see what was all the fuss about! its a very good sandwich. don't go out to eat much, but it will be on my list of to go rest.we have a mayor of Chicago and an alderman banning a chick fil a rest. from opening in Chicago. really seeing how much power this elected officials have given themselves. how is it possible they can do this? what are they dictators, have we become Russia. something has to be done. these dictators do not have that right to ban someone just because they don't like their politics. am i the only one that sees this?
This was your question, asking for an example of companies not allowed to build in Boston.
There are many reasons why a company may not build somewhere. Some legit, some not. I'm not going to discuss a general statement.

These are the names of companies that are not allowed in Boston
There are WalMarts all around Boston. I do not know the area to comment. I read a few articles. One where the people didn't want it and WalMart backed off saying that their studies showed the profitability in that area wouldn't make sense. Likely an excuse but people can state up front that they will not support it and if WalMart thinks they won't and decides not to build that's legit.
I saw another in a old market area that the city wanted to leave that way. Many cities discourage or stop development in areas like this. I don't have a problem with that as long as all new ventures are treated the same.

What else besides teh name of companies would be an answer to this question. Ice Cream Cones? Give me a break!
WHY? The reasons used. As I stated, some are legit, some are not.
One more time: Not agreeing with any view a liberal or a gay/lesbian/bi holds does NOT translate to fueling discrimination.
You're doing it again. You're drawing away from the specific controversy in question. We're not talking about "not agreeing with any view a liberal or gay/lesbian/bi holds"; we're talking about wanting to keep gays from being able to get married and adopt while heterosexuals can do both. There is no word more fitting for this than discrimination, sorry.
And the only reason we never get anywhere on this subject is that people like you won't just admit you have no evidence to support your opinion. If this thread should become just another thread exposing this trend of the anti-gay crowd, then so be it. Better than hiding from the real issue, acting like this is all about boycotts in general.
There are REASONS this boycott (and protesting here, if any) is justified, and you've been (and will continue to be) given them, like it or not.

And you'll continue to be told that marriage is God's Will to be between a man and a woman. Rationalize and justify till you lose your breath. One way or another, you hopefully will realize that fact.

Maybe God should smote the next gay couple that gets married then.
Meanwhile government should provide equal protection under the law.
