BBQ business getting heat for selling LGBTQ shirts

Image result for BBQ business getting heat for selling LGBTQ shirts

A BBQ business in Kentucky is taking heat for using the acronym LGBTQ. The problem is, in this instance, those letters don't stand for what they usually do and some people find the underlying message offensive.
Belle's Smokin BBQ began promoting a T-shirt with the words "I Support LGBTQ: 'Liberty, Guns, Bible, Trump and BBQ.'
"I posted the shirt today for new swag and it just went out of hand and it got blown up," said the restaurant's owner Jamie Smith. He's been traveling all over the state bringing his food to crowds for the past three years.
The post quickly went viral with many people sending messages of their own like: "simple bigotry. Sad commentary for business. Good luck going broke!"
Smith took down the message and replaced it with a statement, saying in part: "We apologize if we have offended any groups of people, organizations or individuals with our shirts. We respect all beliefs and lifestyles and want no ill will towards anyone."
Ariel Lewis, a local resident, said she's strongly against the use of this shirt.
"Wearing that shirt is (bleeped profanity) offensive," she said.
Lewis said she hasn't tried Belle's Smokin BBQ yet, but now has no plans to.
"I ain't never going to try it. I'll make my own," she said.
Other people in Williamstown said they plan on continuing to support the family business.
"If I see the food truck, I'm going to stop by and get some food it sounds really good," said resident Zach Walters.
"At the end of the day, we have to stand for what we believe in and like I said, if I offended anyone that wasn't our intention but it was just a play on words," said Smith.
According to WXIX-TV, the restaurant is still selling the T-shirts.

After Boom and Postman arrived at Bobby’s restaurant they noticed something unusual.     The back door that leads to the kitchen had been Pried     open leaving boom and Post with a look of concern.     Before they could set the fire,  they had to make sure the restaurant was vacant.     Just as expected, they over heard a voice inside the restaurant talking to someone on a cellphone.     “I don’t know where he keeps the safe boss”. The man spoke.     With the phone being on speaker, Rellz and Boom recognized the voice.     “You keep searching!”     Said the familiar voice.     At that moment they knew the criminal was working for Tony’s brother Frankie Pachino.     Frankie spoke again saying.     “We need Tony to blame Boom for this.    W e robbed Boom’s Cafe earlier today, and to me it wasn’t  enough!     With Tony’s cousin being robbed, he will d...

Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you

  "Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go. In an era where you can tune out with a tap, this song pulls you in with a vibe that feels both nostalgic and boldly forward-looking. The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive. The songwriting here is something to applaud. It’s got that old-school flavor—the kind of thing your parents might hum along to—mixed with a futuristic spark that hints at adventures not yet lived. It’s as if the track invites you to step into a time-warped alley where the streetlights flicker with neon possibilities. Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...
