City Council et al,
As a tax paying citizen of Bozeman, I’m writing to express strong support AGAINST the
pride flag proposal. Adopting any sectarian flag as a symbol removes the neutrality our citygov must have. Allowing the pride flag to become a publicly supported symbol means all
other sectarian, religious, cultural or other group symbols are warranted the same rights. Thisis NOT the way the spread peace and love—it will cause unintended chaos and certain lawsuit
exposure.
The below Sentinel article summarizes my thoughts on this exactly. Please REJECT thisunderserving proposal.
