Good morning. I’m writing to you as a concerned citizen, and longtime resident of Bozeman. I
urge you to not adopt the pride flag as an official flag of Bozeman. This virtue signaling andpush for diversity equity and inclusion does not align with the values that Bozeman was
founded on. I have nothing against people, flying flags of whatever they support, but a pushfrom the top down to support a small margin of its people is not in the best interest of a
majority of its citizens. Furthermore, complicating grant processes and increasing potentiallegal fees only harms Bozeman‘s budget and standing in public eye.
There is no need to make the pride flag unofficial flag of Bozeman, I hope you decide well onthis matter.
Thank you.
