Read-Only Content Full Name Suzanne Mackay Email 1882mackay@gmail.com Phone (406) 772-2229 Comments I am a resident of Gallatin County. Do not promote the pride flag as a symbol of our great Montana city – vote AGAINST this resolution. It would be irresponsible for the City Commission to adopt this resolution. Any support of this resolution shows bias toward a small and politically-motivated faction of our population. Each member of our community is fairly represented by the American, Montana, and Bozeman flags as symbols of freedom, fairness and unity. Unbeknownst to the residents of Gallatin County, in 2022 the City of Bozeman flew the pride flag without undergoing an official process, taking matters into their own hands rather than following the law. Therefore, citing the historical flying of that flag within the resolution points squarely to the questionable allegiance of those who allowed it to happen in the first place. It disrespects the residents of our town and the surrounding ares. Do not stoke divisive behavior by making the pride flag an emblem.
