If he's being prosecuted, it's probs cause it was violated in the first place.

People try to stop him from opening new stores in some cities which sounds pretty discriminatory to me

The degree to which they are trying is up for debate. The Chicago guy is saying things, but hasn't actually done anything. Meanwhile the Boston guy never said anything explicit, just a general discouragement.

This Chicago guy is saying he is actually going to do a thing.
Jesus loves everybody, including homosexuals; the Bible condemns certain behaviors as immoral, including homosexuality. Get over it, get over it, get over it.

I found the original quote!
But Dan Cathy, president of the popular fast food chain Chick-fil-A, has done just that, saying on a radio show that
“we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage is all about.”

And the reply to questions:
Moreno referred to Cathy's recent interview with the Biblical Recorder, where he was asked about the opposition the company has been seeing for its support of the traditional family.
"Well, guilty as charged," Cathy told the Recorder. "We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that."

I wonder if he complained when marriage was redefined the last time. Also, if he honestly believes that altering marriage is a bigger concern for god than racism, poverty, rape and murder then he needs to have his head checked. We have far worse problems that I'm certain would be far more concerning to any possible deity.

Actually, his first amendment IS being violated if politicians in multiple cities are exerting political power against he and his company.
I have no qualms if individuals or even companies (such as the Muppets) want to fire back at Chick-fil-A for what happened. However, when politicians step in, I start thinking of "Hate speech" laws and using such things to supress various kinds of speech.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Everyone puts their time where their priorities are. The people who push for equality could also invest in feeding dying children in africa.
Stop using double-standards. This person has convictions, it's up to him to support the causes he considers important to him.
I find this argument moot.
To add:
Of course there are more important things in the world, but many people contribute to many different things. Alderman Moreno contributes to equality, Dan Cathy contributes to the sacredness (in his eyes) of one man one woman marriage. To each their own. Does it mean he doesn't realize the more imporant issues of life? We don't know. For all we know his church may be supporting many altrusitic organizations.
In other words you can't judge a man on the causes he supports because you don't know what community he's a part of and what other causes his community supports.
