The Angels have arrived!

From VICE News, 'Angels' blocked anti-gay protesters from Orlando shooting victim's burial:

     "The four anti-gay protesters were from the homophobic Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church. They raised signs with anti-gay slogans outside the Cathedral Church of St. Luke, where services took place for Christopher Leinonen, who was one of those killed in the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
     Police formed a line between the Westboro protesters and the hundreds of funeral attendees, who included members of the LGBTQ community, priests, bikers, and locals.
     The crowd cheered when members of Orlando's Shakespeare Theater wearing huge 'angel wings' showed up to block out the Westboro protesters."
