I am writing this comment to beseech the commission to adopt the Pride Flag as an official flag of the City of
Bozeman. As someone who has lived here all 34 years of my life, and has deep roots tied to Bozeman and the state
of Montana, I cannot sit idly by and let hate win. My son, myself, and my grandmother were all born at Bozeman
Deaconess. Two of my uncles are Bozeman High Alum. They both went to MSU, and had successful careers. But only
one of them is here today to talk about it. The other was an openly gay man who had HIV/AIDS in the 80’s-90’s. He
was my world, as a little girl. Knowing that the city he loved, and held his heart would be so cruel to those like him
even more than they were in the 90’s would break his heart. With my son, I know I’m either raising an ally of the
LGBT+ community or a member. I refuse to let him grow up without the symbolism and importance the Pride Flag
brings. It’s a beautiful reminder that those of us in the community will always be here.
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
