A half dozen members of the Westboro Baptist Church held a short demonstration in downtown Tampa Tuesday.
The group, known for protesting against gays marriage and picketing funerals of American servicemen, drew the attention of a handful of media and curious passers-by.
Tampa attorney Michael Curry was among those who watched the somewhat limited action.
"I'm not surprised that they're here but I really don't have a thought either way. It's almost comical more than anything else.", said Curry.
While some attempted to debate the protestors, the most interesting moment came when two People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' mascots--large pink pigs--walked over and posed for photos in front of the whole scene.
The Westboro protestors are scheduled to hold another demonstration Wednesday in downtown Tampa, as well as multiple events at next week's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
