From: Susan Reisch on behalf of the Pilgrim United Church of Christ Social Justice Team
As members of the Social Justice team at a local church, Pilgrim United Church of Christ, we write to express our strong support for the
City of Bozeman to officially adopt the Pride Flag as one of its recognized city flags.
Our church displays the Pride Flag to demonstrate that we respect and welcome all of our community members. We understand that the
Pride Flag affirms dignity, belonging and visibility for people who have historically been excluded. That’s not political - its the right
thing to do.
We say every week at Pilgrim “All are welcome here” and we respectfully urge the Bozeman City Commission to adopt the Pride Flag as
an official city flag. This would be a commitment to equality and would be a visible reminder that this is a community where everyone is
welcome!
Thank you for your consideration.
