A strikingly beautiful image: angel wings worn by members of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater blocking Westboro Baptist Church protestors from disrupting the funeral of one of the Orlando massacre victims. In the words of Lin-Manual Miranda, “Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside.” Westboro’s message of hate failed to hit its mark this time. #OrlandoUnited
Now, that is a beautiful sight. I hadn’t seen that picture. And that’s all that was – hatred trying to stop a burial. And behind those humans in wings? An army of angels to defend them and the returning soul.
