This hero fought an angry mob that chased gay people into a Utah cafe.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) l-r Mason Smith, Atlas Morgan and Kae Clark showed their appreciation to Terrance Mannery with a balloon and a card that read "You Happy Up The World," Wednesday, June 6, 2018. Mannery sheltered four men leaving the Utah Pride festivities and fought off numerous would-be attackers.

“Are you the one who saved those people?”

Terrance Mannery, a little caught off guard, turned his head from the window and looked up at the woman who was asking. “Um … yeah,” he told her, a bit uncertain and a little shy.
