Dear City Commission, I’m writing to express my concern over the safety of all community members in light of
recent threats to queer community members, and a need for overall recognition and support of our LGBTQ friends,
neighbors and family members. I fully support requests to the commission for an action and strategy plan in
response to threats to out queer communities, including public debriefs with local officials in response to threats.
This is not something to sweep under the rug. Our city government needs to show a strong commitment to the
safety of all community members. It has also come to my attention that the queer community needs more support
in holding and keeping safe their pride celebration activities. Pride is a cultural celebration, not a protest, and
participants in Pride activities deserve the same recognition and safety as members of other cultural groups. Thanks
for your wise and prompt action on this important matter concerning community safety.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
