Pointing out that there are other greater injustices in the world one might let slide does not indicate that one should give up protesting a lessor injustice. Belittling people because of their hypocrisy is rather shortsighted.
That is just Tosh .0 all over again.
And so what about him being a racist or an asshole. He hated everybody. Then opened charity hospitals and took care of old ball players that were stupid with their money.

If Taco Bell is in there, so is everything owned by Pepsi AND Frito-Lay, which also includes Subway. It's surprising how far this rabbit hole goes.
That's not a terribly compelling argument. There are lots of reason to support a candidate, and looking at that list, none of them are aimed specifically against gay marriage. You're also overlooking the fact that YUMS! has given money directly to politicians with a pro-gay rights voting record. You just linked to PAC/party donations.
The owner for Chick fil-a, however, has donated millions specifically aimed at that cause.
Ugh, looking through the list he's also donated to the Exodus Foundation, which is one of those "we can rehabilitate the gays" groups.

The difference is... this is the same injustice he's talking about, but a more blatantly harmful form than a company owner supporting his beliefs. This bandwagon bashing has accomplished little (and in many ways backfired, since many free speech advocates are taking the side of Chick-fil-a and showing it support)
Yeah, looking into it I guess you're right. Chick fil-a is a bit more egregious in its donations.
I think the comment has more to do with the multitudes of morons that came out of the woodwork during it basically saying, "I don't care if Chick-Fil-A hates gays, love that chicken!" and the like.
Seriously, this works, and works well (look at how the music industry is scrambling right now).
The only trouble is getting enough people to go along.

I wouldn't call it a boycott, I'd call it more "people always would rather have something for free than pay for it."

So the guy who set fire to the cheerios on General Mills' lawn has been fired and is under criminal investigation.
Probably a good thing. Anyone stupid enough to film themselves starting a fire on the lawn of a major corporate headquarters and then running is probably not someone you want on the payroll.
I am waiting for that guy to make a freedom of speech argument against his employer.
If he was on public property, and performed the burn in a safe, controlled manner it wouldn't have been any different than protesters burning the flag, and thus still a statement protectd by free speech.
However he was on private property, performed the burn in an unsafe manner, and at minimum damaged the landscaping with the fire. Further he left the scene of the fire he started without attempting to alert authorities. It's possible he could be charged with arson.

Every person who tries crying "freedom of speech" against private companies neds to be beaten for an hour with a copy of the first amendment...
