The business was filled with banners representing multiple LGBTQ+ groups, including rainbow flags, transgender flags and pansexual flags. The dinosaur at the top of the Believe it or Not museum! Wearing a colorful scarf, oversized heart-shaped glasses and a sign that read “The Power of Pride,” queer icons including Donna Summer and Madonna sang hymns.
