we have heard that the pride flag may be considered as the city flag. That would be a huge mistake.
It is a symbol that is not joining everyone but dividing.
We need something that is going to represent the city with the mountains or something as far as the scenery around
here that represents everyone who has and does live here, not just a few people that have moved in here and feel like
they’re not getting a voice.
We all love the diversity of people black, white, tall, short, , men, women, gay, or straight. Posting this flag causes
more tension against those who feel like they need to stand out more than the rest. This is not creating equality.
Be open reminder to the fact that that’s not what we want to be known for, we want to be known for the local shops
downtown the mom and Pop restaurants, the beautiful scenery, the hikes, the lakes, the rivers, the creeks, and all
people.
Thank you, I am a Bozeman residence since 1972!
