To Bozeman City Commissioners:
I am a city resident and property owner in Bozeman and the proud sister of a gay man and mother of a gay daughter.
Growing up, my brother felt compelled to hide is true self until he could no longer, costing him many years of
happiness clouded by addictions aimed at healing his pain. Luckily, by the time my daughter came out, 25 or so
years later, society had grown more accepting. Now, that acceptance is threatened by our current political climate.
Now, more than ever, we need to stand alongside our friends and family members of the queer community — we
need to stand proud for and with them. Bozeman can choose to be on the right side of history and we can strive to be
an inclusive and safe community for all by adopting and displaying the Pride flag proudly.
Thank you,
Paula Ray Power
Bozeman resident
