Please don't go overboard due to the opinion of one group. We have official national and state flags, including an existing Bozeman flag. Don't set precedence--being of Italian heritage, will
you raise one for my group next? How about one for the non-LBGTQ+ group? How about the Asian community that made a significant impact on our history for over 100 years? As well as
a specific flag for the impact women made in Bozeman's history? Based on your idea of physically expressing inclusion, you certainly would not want to stop at just one flag.
Personal action towards others will reflect inclusion, not a flag. In reality, the Stars and Strips
include us all--the rest is basically all fluff. If you don't feel that way, maybe look inward. And spend our taxes on tackling greater issues, enhancing better use of commission time, and
overcoming the challenges impacting our town that are much higher on the priority list that affect all of us.
