I've always avoid getting involved in (semi-)political discussions but I'm very curious here:

It is fundamentally OK for customers to boycott vendors they do not like (right?), then is it wrong/illegal for the opposite? Are vendors disallow to pick and choose their customers?

We, netizen as a whole, are currently under go the sentiment to boycott Facebook and Google right now: for what we believe to be righteous. If Cloudflare believe it is righteous to boycott 8chan as their customer, are they in the wrong? Is Cloudflare as an organization not allow to have the freedom to pick their customer?

I guess that comes down to what is a person and what is a business. Do businesses have rights? I would say no they do not. A person exists until death. Their rights are fundamental. A business exists or does not exist at the whims of the owner(s), government, or law. It's rights are fungible. It is allowed to exist at all because the government says it can. And one of the requirements can be it is not allowed to discriminate based on sexuality, or it can only do business with certain individuals and businesses.
