Read-Only Content Full Name Heidi Buzzetti Email hbuzzetti@gmail.com Phone (805) 703-3012 Comments I stand in opposition to the decision to charge Bozeman Pride $400 per hour for police duties during the Pride celebration. According to the 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, 68% of LGBTQ youth do not feel safe in their community. Last year, multiple queer youth were hurt in the process of celebrating Pride in Bozeman. Pride is a celebration of connection, community, perseverance, and joy. A time to build friendship and camaraderie - a time to beat the statistics that weigh heavily on our community. Montana youth deserve to experience a celebration free of bodily harm, harassment, and fear. As people who work with and care for the safety of youth, we demand that the Bozeman Police Department steps up and provides a safe environment for all people to celebrate Pride.
