WBC at Orlando Pulse Funeral turned away by Angels and Bikers

The Westboro Baptist Church sent their scourge to Orlando to further sadden those attending the funeral of Javier, one of two memorials held Saturday for the victims the Orlando Pulse massacre. One might wonder how this small cult affords all these trips. One person posted saying they made a living off of lawsuits from people enraged by their baiting. But, in any case, they were kept from being seen or heard by the procession by angels and bikers.

The Conservative Biz Pac Review reported that the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida, in conjunction with the American Theater in Orlando and the Orlando Shakespeare Theater, created large angel wings for supporters to wear to shield the grieving families from the Westboro hate group.

Westboro Baptist Scourge slinking out of Orlando after failing to bring more pain to the grieving family. It was really good to see our trans flag waving proudly as the crowd chanted ‘we love you’. The WBC just doesn’t get how their antics bring together so many different factions in solidarity with their different struggles.
