Bozeman City Commision
Dear City Commision,
As a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign and equal rights for allBozeman residents, I am writing to urge you to pass the historicnondiscrimination ordinance that would prohibit discrimination on thebasis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Missoula, Helena, andButte already have similar nondiscrimination laws, and now it's timefor Bozeman to do the same and further equality across the TreasureState.
All hardworking Bozemanites, including LGBT residents, should have theopportunity to earn a living and provide for their families free fromdiscrimination. Please continue to work to ensure that thisnondiscrimination ordinance is passed; it's the right thing to do.
I am a resident of Bozeman and want to ensure that all futuregenerations of Bozeman citizens are protected, no matter their sexualorientation or gender identity/expression. It's time for this town tofirmly stand with its LGBT citizens and to stand its ground despite thedated worldviews of individuals who will stand on the wrong side ofhistory.
Sincerely,
Alex Miller
Bozeman, MT 59715
