Hi,
I'm writing to strongly urge the Bozeman City Commission to make the pride flag an official
city flag.
In the 10 years I've lived in Bozeman I have happily volunteered my time in various differentways to support this community. I've volunteered at HRDC's warming hut, served on GVLT's
board of directors, mentored young skiers through Eagle Mount's adaptive snow program, andfinancially supported non-profits such as Bozeman Health Foundation, BYEP, Pride House,
Heart of the Valley, and several others.
I love this community and want to feel that it loves me back. But when I hear the city may notconsider a motion to make the pride flag an official city flag so that it can continue to be flown
on city property, like it has for many years, I feel disrespected by the city.
Missoula is willing to support its LGBTQIA+ community, why can't Bozeman?
Thanks,Jeffrey Dineen
