Kentucky food truck under attack over T-shirt slogan

April 23, 2019

The Belle's Smokin' BBQ food truck, which operates in Kentucky, is under social media fire and being criticized for a T-shirt it sells that states "I support LGBTQ – liberty, guns, Bible, Trump BBQ."

The backlash hit after truck owner Jamie Smith put a photo of the shirt, which he has been selling for two years, on social media, according to a CNN report.

Some commentators claimed it was offensive and that the shirt mocks the LGBT community.

In response, Smith removed the social media post and issued an apology, stating "we respect all beliefs and lifestyles and want no ill will towards (sic) anyone."

He said he will still sell the shirt, which is now sold out following the social media response.
