A state flag is meant to symbolize the shared identity, history, geography, and values of all its residents, regardless
of political, cultural, or ideological beliefs. Montana’s current flag, even if outdated in design, reflects the state’s
natural beauty and frontier roots. Any future redesign should aim to represent everyone, not just one group or
cause. Using the Pride flag as a state symbol could make a government emblem feel political or exclusive, even if the
intentions are good. Many Montanans who value equality may still want a state flag that remains neutral and
unifying. Public symbols should bring people together, not divide them based on identity or ideology. Our state flag
should never be used to promote an agenda that alienates the majority of Montanans. It is meant to unite us under
a shared identity, not divide us along ideological lines. While every voice matters, a loud minority should not
overpower the values
