Hello,
I respectfully urge you to not adopt the Pride flag as Bozeman’s city flag. While the pride flag
may represent inclusion and diversity for some, a city flag should uniquely embodyBozeman’s distinct history, culture, and natural heritage. The Pride flag, as a symbol of a
specific social movement, risks alienating residents with differing views and may not fullycapture the broader identity of our community. A city flag should unite all citizens under a
shared, place-specific emblem that reflects Bozeman’s mountains and rivers, history, andcollective spirit.
Thank you for considering this perspective.
Sincerely,
John Campbell
