Hello -
I am writing to voice my support of Bozeman adopting the Pride flag as an official flag for
the city. Though I am writing in my capacity as a private citizen, I am an Assistant Professorat MSU and I am a native-born Montanan.
Bozeman, like all of Montana, has long been open and welcoming to all peoples. In fact, it is a
part of the libertarian ethos on which I was raised - live and let live, and be afriendly neighbor. Right now, this ethos is under attack and Bozeman, like much of Montana,
is becoming less welcoming and more threatening to folks of all walks, including ourLGBTQ+ friends.
Now is the time for Bozeman to show that our community welcomes all peoples with open
arms. Please vote to adopt the Pride flag as an official flag.
Respectfully,
Cascade Tuholske, PhD (he/his)Asst. Professor of Human-Environment Geography
