Hello,
My name is Emma Smith and I am a healthcare provider here in Bozeman. I urge you, the city commission, to
approve the Pride flag as an official city flag. While it may not seem more than symbolic, having the Pride flag
displayed and protected promotes a sense of safety for Bozeman residents who identify as a member of the
LGTBQ+ community, have loved ones who are part of the community, and those who are supportive of LGTBQ+
Montanans. There is ample evidence that a sense of safety and belonging among residents leads to better
communities, greater public health, a sense of civic belonging, and other qualities which we all want for Bozeman.
Therefore I urge you to seriously consider this motion.
Best,
Emma
