Dear Commissioners,
I am emailing in support of Bozeman adopting the Pride flag as an official city flag.
I am a resident of Bozeman and have lived here with my family for nearly twenty
years. I have many people in my life who are LGBTQ+. Having walked side by side
with them over the past ten years as there has been more and more hostility towards
them has been heartbreaking. Just two weeks ago, I said good bye to yet another
Bozeman family who has chosen to move out of Bozeman due to not feeling safe
because someone in their family is transgender. I am tired of saying goodbye to
families due to the hostile climate.
The Pride flag is a visual reminder that we all belong in Bozeman. At a time when
there is more and more hostility towards LGBTQ+ people, visual signs are even more
important than ever.
Please adopt the Pride flag as an official flag of Bozeman. Let's show our fellow
community members that they do in fact belong in Bozeman.
Thank you for your service.
Katie Lowe
