I realize this message is after the meeting that took place 5 days ago, but also know that a vote
did not take place due to the conversation at the meeting.
I am writing to encourage the board to consider the long rich history of Bozeman whenconsidering the city flag, not simply appease the small percentage of those most vocal who
have been here post-2008. The pride flag does not represent Bozeman, the Gallatin Valley, orMontana. It represents a small percentage of people that don’t share the agricultural roots of
the beautiful valley.
Please don’t sway in the face of pressure to change who this town is, don’t let this blip in timeoverwrite what Bozeman Montana really is. Do not change to the city flag to a pride flag.
Respectfully,
Lauren Vinson
