A rainbow charity has denied that advocates are drawing too much attention to Posie Parker.

A coalition of groups filed to have the anti-transgender activist barred from the country, but it was thrown out by the High Court in Wellington.

Parker will speak in Auckland tomorrow and in Wellington on Sunday, where protestors are planning to meet her.

InsideOUT managing director Tabby Besley says that the groups all sincerely hoped it would never get to this point.

But, she says, it escalated and they're not willing to stand by and just let it happen. Instead, they'll show the trans community they've got their backs.
