Considering Julián Castro's busy weekend, you'd think the former San Antonio mayor was running for president or something.

Fresh off his well-received performance in the first Democratic presidential debate, Castro marched in San Antonio's Pride Bigger Than Texas Parade Saturday night with twin brother U.S. Rep.
