A homophobic religious sect that protests at the funerals of US soldiers who died in action has lost an appeal against a law in Ohio that limits their activities.

Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church unsuccessfully claimed in a federal appeals court that the 2006 amendment to the law interfered with her right to free speech.
