Bozeman needs to address the hate and threats of violence against our LBGTQ+ populations. We’ve already made
the national news and don’t want to get a reputation for putting up with hate groups pushing their agenda and
making our citizens feel unsafe. We have an opportunity to take a stand and support our community by making
Bozeman Pride an official city event. I would feel much safer if the city announced what plan is in place to prevent
incidents like last year happening. I also believe the city should revise their Belonging in Bozeman and Equity and
Inclusion plan. I believe that groups threatening our queer community are afraid of what they do not understand.
The city officially supporting the queer community could show solidarity with this community, help normalize
queerness, show the rest of Montana that we are welcoming and inclusive, and help those in opposition understand
this vulnerable community better. Visibility matters towards equity and inclusion. Act your conscience.
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
