I think tapping this group is more likely to really impact who Chick-fil-a gives too. And a sort of positive approach could swing more people in the middle than a polarizing one.
But certainly, I don't expect boycotters to compromise and give CFA money. ETA: it's just that this group of boycotters is likely to be such a small segment of Chick-fil-a's customers as to not hurt most stores very much. The stores more likely to be affected are the stores probably least into the whole corporate ideology. So boycotters will get individual satisfaction in acting on their beliefs but won't achieve much broader success.

Maybe, maybe not. One day of lining up does not save a company's profits. We will see what happens in a year. The people that showed up yesterday are the other end of the spectrum. You have to be REALLY motivated to stand in line for hours just to show those liberals that you support CFA. It's lot easier to NOT go there and eat on any other day. Also, for the people who are in between the two ends of the spectrum, they are likely to be effected by the negative publicity. CFA's brand approval ratings have already taken a hit.
