The world premiere of Stonewall at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month was not the usual flashy, black-tie bonanza, reports Canadian news outlet Daily Xtra, as the cast was nearly overshadowed by LGBT demonstrators.

Video of the September 18 event was posted to YouTube by Daily Xtra, showing the protesters shouting at the stars and holding waht they called a "teach-in" about the 1969 riots outside New York City's Stonewall Inn, on which the film is based.

Blasting the film for its portrayal of transgender, lesbian, and drag demonstrators of that era, one protester made sure her complaint was heard. "This movie turns them all into thieves," shouted Kami Chisolm into a megaphone.

Chisolm and her fellow demonstrators accused the makers of Stonewall of downplaying the key role that trans people of color and lesbian activists played in the riots that launched the modern gay rights movement in the U.S.

Stonewall's out director, Roland Emmerich, told Daily Xtra he wanted to make a movie for everybody. "I never quite understood this whole word of 'whitewashing,'" he told the news source.

The film opened in U.S. theaters this weekend to poor attendance and largely negative reviews. Watch video of the Toronto protest from Daily Xtra's YouTube Channel, below.
