Dear Commissioners:
The Bozeman City Commission is set up to serve the interests of all Bozeman (and
Gallatin valley). When the interests and values of a small minority of people are
suddenly placed at the forefront, how is that serving the interests of the majority? It
is not the purpose of the City Commission to allow partisan politics to guide decisions
that are made. The LGBTQ community already has plenty of opportunities to
display their flag on homes, businesses, and other places.
I agree with what some have said, adopting the LGBTQ flag as a city symbol threatens
to divide people rather than unite people. There are other more pressing issues that
the Commission should give time to.
Sincerely,
Arnie Benson
