Williamstown, KY—A northern Kentucky barbecue food truck is getting a lot of heat after advertising its T-shirts on social media. The of Belle’s Smoking BBQ took a play on the acronym LGBTQ and changed it to Liberty, Guns, Bible, Trump, and BBQ. Some are calling the message insensitive and hateful. Belle’s Smoking BBQ is based in Williamstown, but the owner Jamie Smith has been traveling all over the state bringing his food to crowds for three years. Now his merchandise is overshadowing his smoked meats. Smith says he started selling the T-shirts nearly two years ago.

Stand your ground, guys. These offended little pansyass snowflakes need to get a life. You can make those letters -- somehow sacred to leftist twits -- stand for anything you want. No need to apologize. None. Keep smoking, brother. JB

Yes, but more are not. Stop jumping everytime someone gets their nose out of joint about something that isn´t worth squabbling about.

When these complainers have time for such incredible buffoonery, it can only mean that we live in an incredibly affluent society.

We´re tired of having all the LGBTQ crap foisted upon us.
Perversion is a mental illness.

There is a very simple solution:
If the shirt offends you, don´t wear it.

Getting a "lot of heat"! Yeah, from the democrat communist propaganda media who are the self appointed Guardians of what can and cannot be said. Totalitarians on parade.
Ever notice whenever these media hacks want to push a "racist" story they always use one of their token black "reporters" to appear on tv "reporting" this terrible, terrible story?
I´ll have an order of ribs, chicken, and fries please.

My wise old father used to say, "Don´t poke a stick into dog doo and it won´t stink."
Paraphrasing "doo" for his word of choice.

Hateful? No more hateful than them hijacking the word "gay" to describe those who engage in a perverted, smelly act.

I always thought that if you had common sense and were decent, you wouldn´t need to live by a label. Label this, label that...it´s like a set of rules that extinguish your basic humanity and turn you into a brand.

Clever headline. Heat has a universal symbol: Q
Seriously, people, we must be all out of real problems. That this issue finds its way into newsprint is terribly sad.

To the woman who said "wearing that shirt is F...ing offensive". I think a WOMAN saying F..ing IS offensive! Potty mouth is not attractive on a woman!

The offended snowflakes are probably vegans anyway. They wouldn´t be buying any BBQ, so ignore them!

I´m sure a few people were very upset by those t-shirts. A very few. People need to lighten up.

If by insensitive and hateful they mean wholesome and patriotic then yeah, it´s insensitive and hateful. Meanwhile, I thought LGBT meant liquor, guns, bacon, and (a slang term for women´s breasts), likewise all-American.
