City of Bozeman:
Strong communities take care of their neighbors.
Bozeman is that kind of community. Passing an ordinance to protect people from discrimination on thebasis of sexual orientation and gender identity just makes sense. Our gay, lesbian, bisexual andtransgender neighbors deserve to be able to work, live and do business in Bozeman.
The nondiscrimination ordinance would prohibit discrimination against LGBT people in employment,housing and public accommodations.
Everyone needs to have the ability to earn money to put a roof over their loved ones' heads and foodon the table.
All you have to do is look at Missoula to see that a nondiscrimination ordinance hurts no one and hasthe potential to help a lot of people.
Please vote in favor of nondiscrimination ordinance.
The qualities of justice and fairness that brings us together are far greater than what makes usdifferent. This ordinance isn't only about protecting our neighbors from experiencing discrimination. It'sabout branding Bozeman as a welcoming and diverse community.
Please pass the nondiscrimination ordinance.
Sincerely,
A Midgett406 9261786
