Yep. Boston and Chicago mayors said that Chick fil a was not allowed to expand any more in their city because they don't agree with the founder's statements.

So? Show me where a CFA business permit has been denied or a CFA has been booted out.

Lies. They didn't say CFA wasn't allowed. They said the company would not fit in culturally with their cities. Mayors and cities can't reject a company based on something a member of the company said.

Here's a little test; now since is the interwebs, anyone can lie, so the honor system will have to be in affect: I have about 10 openly gay friends on facebook. How many Conservative Christian facebook friends do you have? Be honest.
No one's trashing traditional marriage.

Saying the Bible is God's word doesn't make it so.

You know that was the same argument against interracial marriage, right? The exact same argument: tradition. Marriage was "traditionally" between people of the same race. Were the people saying that back then bigots? Or were they just supporting traditional values?

The vast majority of my Facebook friends, and my actual friends, are conservative Christians.

In 20 years people will look back at this the way we look at pro-segregation demonstrators from the 60s.
