Protesters are upset over the exclusive use of toilets for gays and transvestites in samba schools for Carnaval.
Some toilets for Rio's top samba school, Unidos de Tujuca, which is preparing for the March 4-9 carnaval, were restricted.
Dancers say the action resembles the forced separation of blacks and whites in the past.
"They are carnaval apartheid!" claimed Claudio Nascimento, the head of a government anti-homophobia program.
