Honorable mayor and commissioners:
You are faced with the choice to honor your oath of office to uphold law and order, torepresent all of the people of Bozeman, and to keep the public trust. Adopting the Pride flag as
the official flag of Bozeman will dishonor your elected office. Inclusion is not achievedthrough ideological symbols. It is achieved by neutral policies. Your job is not to provide
psychological comfort to a small minority of people who seek special treatment in a pluralityof many minority groups that make up our city. Adopting the Pride flag will open the city to
costly lawsuits and take time and money from the real work of city governance that youshould be about.
I urge you to reject the resolution to adopt the Pride flag as the official flag of our fair city. Wehave a beautiful flag that represents all the people in our community.
Sincerely,Deanna Campbell
Bozeman, MT 59715
