Dear Commissioners,
Myself and my family have been informed that Bozeman City Commission is consideringjoining Missoula and Butte by declaring the Pride Flag as the official flag of the City ofBozeman at tomorrow's city commission meeting.
This email is to urge our city commission NOT to approve this flag as representative of Bozeman.
The pride community in Bozeman is a very small percentage of our population, and the flag
does not accurately represent who we are as a whole community. It does not feel fair to themajority to adopt the Pride flag as our city flag, as there are many other flags and ideas that
would “fit” us as Bozemanites.
I was born in Bozeman, went to MSU, and work as a nurse locally. I hope you trulyconsider the majority of Bozeman in your decision. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,Alyssa and Josh Bartling1427 Bora WayBozeman MT 59718
