About three dozen demonstrators confronted people attending a Human Rights Campaign concert at the Fillmore Auditorium Tuesday night.

The protesters, from the group Bashback! Denver as well as several other groups, said the Human Rights Campaign, a liberal gay-rights group, hasn’t done enough to extend those same protections to transgender individuals. The protesters chanted, “Gender is an illusion, stop trans exclusion,” as several dozen police officers looked on.
