A South Florida drag queen is giving a dismantled rainbow crosswalk new life, raising thousands of dollars to support LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations statewide.

Eric Swanson, who performs as Miss Bouvèé, acquired 50 bricks from Miami Beach's former rainbow crosswalk at 12th Street and Ocean Drive through a city auction. Now, Miss Bouvèé is offering the salvaged bricks to supporters in exchange for donations starting at $250, with proceeds benefiting Naples Pride and Key West Pride, CBS Miami reports.
