Protesters gathered outside a Los Angeles bar Saturday night after a video surfaced on social media of two transgender women being forcibly and violently removed from the venue by bar staff and security after allegedly being the target of a hate crime by other patrons.
A group of volunteers and staff members from Bienestar Human Services, a local nonprofit organization, had just finished attending and speaking at DTLA Proud, an annual two-day event that celebrates the LGBTQ community, when they were aggressively approached by a heterosexual couple at Las Perlas bar, according to a press release from Bienestar.
"My friend was insulted and called a bunch of derogatory names and then I proceeded to go and speak to this guy. I was like, 'You can't do this, you can't call her -- you can't mistreat her,' so the guy started getting aggressive, started yelling at me, calling me all sorts of names, saying that I was a man, that I was a man," said Jennifer Bianchi, who was part of the group from Bienestar that was ejected.
The situation reportedly escalated from there when the couple shouted at and threatened the group by saying "We will come back and kill you," according to Bienestar.

Very nice.
transgender women??
Men in Skirts, cross dressers
Both groups were told to leave, the drama queens refused to GTFO.
AOCortez should be offended some dude appropriated her look.
I used to fill that function back when I was young, single and stupid in the late 60s-early 70s. I was the smallest bouncer (at 6'1", 180) in a huge night club (occupancy limit 3,000, 11 bars open on Saturday night). If there was a confrontation that had not yet become a fight I'd be the front man explaining to the participants that they had to leave. Three to five of the big guys were behind me looking menacing, and most of the miscreants walked out with us giving us no trouble. If a fight was in progress we'd have 6-8 of us show up, get them under physical control and remove them. We could not take sides, even if we knew the participants. Both had to go; we usually tried to take them out by separate doors.
Then there was the "Oh my God, he's got a gun!" incident when we had to remove an off-duty detective from a local police force...
Fun times back in the day.
