Officials of Bozeman,
This email is in regards to a new city flag. Trying to implement a “pride” flag as an official
flag is an abhorrent misuse of power. The pride flag does nothing but divide - and using it asan official city flag will cause nothing but problems. Choosing an “all inclusive” flag that only
represents approximately 3% of our population is anything but inclusive. What aboutChristians, Muslims, straight people, traditional nuclear families, and the like? To throw 97%
of us under the bus just to cater to 3% seems incredibly divisive. We do not need an lgbtq flagas a city flag.
Thank you,
Shiloh Smith
