The Daily Signal caught up with some of the thousands of LGBT activists and their supporters who celebrated in the District of Columbia on June 9 by attending the city’s gay pride parade, now called the Capital Pride Parade.

We asked younger attendees their thoughts about children transitioning between genders, and whether they thought parental notification was necessary or should be required for minors.

Take a look at what some in the D.C. area’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community say about why children as young as 5 should be able to change their gender. Warning: We obscured some images, but  viewers may find the video content offensive.
