Because such protests WORK.
In 2010 Target stores became the target of protests similar to those now being focused on Chick-fil-a. Target had donated to anti-gay causes and gays raised hell.

http://lezgetreal.com/2012/07/gay-wedding-registry-someone-finally-got-it/comment-page-1/The article links to stories about target now selling shirts to benefit gay marriage and cards for gay marriages.
While we may not be able to change the mind of the bigoted owner of Chick fil a, lots of other companies will see the hot water Target and Chick-fil-a landed in. Most companies simply do not want to be in the center of such controversies, so most will think twice about their contributions to anti-gay causes.
Yes, gays exercising their right to free speech does frighten many.
