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.

After the post went viral and was inundated with negative comments, Belle's Smoking BBQ removed it from Facebook and issued a statement apologizing, but also argued that some individuals were behaving hypocritically by calling their shirts hateful while also making threats to the owners.

“Belle’s Smoking BBQ apologizes if we have offended any groups, organizations or individuals with our shirts," the statement began.

"We respect all beliefs and lifestyles and want no ill will towards anyone. We know each person has their own thoughts and beliefs but we are hurt that the people who are saying, ‘stop the hate’ are the ones coming at us with the harassing messages and threatening phone calls. Again we apologize for any hurt feelings and thank our supporters who truly know us."

According to local news, many who live in the area have said they still plan to stand by the owners of Belle's Smoking BBQ and will continue to frequent the food truck.

These same mutants then proceeded to threaten the owner's life.

THIS is exactly what was predicted when The Almighty Corrupt State bestowed Special Privileges to "minoritahs" and queers like "Hate Crime" amd "Hate Speech" legislation. that criminalized ANY criticism of THEM. This type of unequal application/subversion of law legislation is illegal, but who cares, right? It's only whites, straights, and Christians getting the shaft.

"Hate Crimes" and "Hate Speech" laws merely opened the door for these same avenging Queers to turn the table backed by the Corrupt State, which actually rewards hating and threatening whites, straights, Christians, etal at will -- complete with immunity and impunity, with ZERO fear of prosecution or retribution.

At this point, why would anyone lay themselves on the line and defend this nation, its rogue, outlaw leaders and system? Seriously. The American Flag is now a symbol of hypocrisy and tyranny. Its new flag should be a blood red Baphomet super-imposed over the the stars and stripes fraud.

well let's face, it there cannot be just one interpretation of any abbreviation, anyway the caption is confusing, how many types of queers are there? once you get beyond the first two you have to wonder why some are left out.

If you are serious you have to wonder how anyone can support any form of deviatism

Why apologize? Clever use of the disparaging letters that supposedly define a gaggle of sick, perverted pieces of human debris.

"... how many types of queers are there?

Given that male and female homosexuals account for only 2% of the population, they need to inflate that number to pretend they're some social and political force.

So they came up with LGBTQQIAAP -- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allies and Pansexual.

If you're going to go there, then there's also hebephilia, ephebophilia, and pederasty. The list grows.

and you left out Transvestite

Well, transgender (or trans) would inclusd transsexual, transvestite, genderqueer, genderfluid, non-binary, genderfuck, genderless, agender, non-gendered, third gender, two-spirit, bigender, trans man and trans woman.

So there.

No, they merely want their perverted fetish to be accepted as normal. I guess it's easier to get everyone else to change rather than making changes to your own behavior.
