Daniel Garcia-Casillas has been attending the Pride parade since 2003.

"I was in the closet for 36 years when I came out. I have two grown daughters and my biggest fear was that my daughters were not gonna accept me and after I came out," he said. "My daughters accepted me and one of my daughters is actually gay as well and she's here as well celebrating our life."
