Regarding making the Pride flag an official Bozeman flag:
!. Making a flag an official city flag or even flying one that is not the officially allowed flags by state law is illegal.
House Bill 819 restricts any flags on government buildings that “represent a political party, race, sexual orientation,
gender or political ideology.” That should end all further discussion. We need to be in compliance with the law. No
ifs, ands or buts about it.
2. Furthermore, this law was passed to maintain neutrality in our governance and not to show favoritism or
preference to anything outside of our allegiance to our state and country.
Please adhere to the law and do not allow a small vocal minority to pressure the city into violating the laws of our
state.
Sincerely,
Cheryl MacDonald
