Dear City Commissioners,
Please consider this point of view regarding the use of the lgbtq flag for city purposes. I have
been a resident of this city since 1974.
It is a discriminatory idea to fly this flag from government buildings. It is discrimination of allother small minority people groups that are not represented by the flag or are not specifically
chosen to have their flag flown, as well as the vast majority of the population of the city ofBozeman that are not represented by this flag. This type of representation of a small people
group singled out by a government is "playing favorites" and should be left out ofgovernment. It sends a message that other people groups are less valued and most importantly
are not equally represented. Do you want to be responsible for misrepresenting yourpopulation that voted you into office?
Please keep the Bozeman flag to fly alone with the USA flag as the only flags representing our
fine city.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Spratt
