I am writing to express my support for the city of Bozeman to adopt the Progress Pride Flag and variations as an
official flag of the city. The removal of the Pride Flag after recently passed state law sends a message that not
everyone is welcome here, during a time when the LGBTQ+ community is facing increased ostracization, targeting,
and bigotry. When I see the Pride Flag, I feel proud to live here, I know that my family and friends can feel safer
here, and I am far more reassured that I'm contributing to a community that supports all people. If equity and
inclusion are major tenets of city policy, as set forth in the Belonging in Bozeman Plan, the removal of the Pride Flag
is in conflict with these tenets. The message its removal sends is one of division, and is contrary to the idea that
"every resident, visitor, and City of Bozeman employee feels welcome and valued" here. I urge the City Commission
to take steps to ensure that the Pride Flag is flown again in our city.
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 comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
