To the Bozeman City Commission or if you've never decides the representation of Bozeman,
My name is Ella Watson and I'm a homeowner in Bozeman, Montana, and I have lived here
for 12 years. I am writing to share my opinion about the rainbow Pride flag, or pride flags ingeneral, being hung in public spaces in Bozeman.
I understand the Governor Giaforte has outlawed The hanging of non-official flags in public
spaces in Montana. I consider this a sneaky way of disenfranchising the LGBT+ communitiesthroughout Montana and is a display of hatred towards vulnerable communities.
I fully support the adoption of the pride flag as an official flag of the City of Bozeman.
Bozeman is clearly a community that supports its LGBT+ citizens and as a community thatopens its doors to the multitudes year-round, we should display the rainbow flag with dignity
and stern decision.
I fully support the adoption of the pride flag as an official flag of the City of Bozeman,Montana.
My phone number is 804-814-8728. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions or
concerns.
Take care,
