Kentucky BBQ restaurant slammed for 'LGBTQ' shirts deemed offensive

A Kentucky barbecue joint is facing serious blowback after some of their merchandise has been deemed inappropriate and offensive to the LGBTQ community.

Belle's Smoking BBQ, which operates out of a food truck based in Williamstown, Ky., promoted their new t-shirts on social media this week, which are emblazoned with the slogan, "I support LGBTQ - Liberty, Guns, Bible, Trump, BBQ."

Many were quick to respond in the comments, calling the misappropriation of the "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer" slogan bigoted and harmful.

“I posted the shirt for new swag and it just went out of hand and it got blowed up,” Belle's Smoking BBQ owner Jamie Smith told Fox 19. He added that even before advertising the shirts on Facebook, he had sold about 100 of the shirts.

The food truck made only one mistake: they apologized. Never apologize, never surrender!

Yes, but how’s business now? That’s the only blowback that matters. Businesses need to stop responding to basement dwellers. Especially since not one of these fascist SJWs would ever have patronized the business anyhow.

Very clever.
The Brits would say it was ‘Cheeky’.
I would buy a coffee mug like that.
I’m not marching around in such a T-Shirt though.

A$$holes, they already appropriated ‘GAY’ and totally warped it’s meaning now they’re moving on to the alphabet. What’s the next thing that normal people will no longer be allowed because it’s owned by queers or some other ‘special’ group.

Not offensive...funny.

I was speaking to a trans yesterday.

Heshe was disgusted with the leftist yowls over this sort of thing. Realizes that its ideology is being used. Doesn’t like it.

I was speaking to a trans yesterday.

I have worked near a real conversion for 23 years now.

Still a man and always tries to get under the woman’s skin.

Shuts the ladies room lights out everytime he/she is in there.

No matter how much forced change I am still talking to a man and one who relates to men best.

You don’t mess with what God has advised.

Happy Easter Freepers!

There’s a restaurant in the KC area that specializes in pan-fried chicken. They sell tee shirts that read “Strouds: We choak our own chickens”. I can only imagine what the people complaining about this shirt would say about them?

“Misappropriated?”

They misappropriated the entire concept of marriage.
