Missoula recognizes pride flag as an official city symbol

  • On Monday evening, Missoula's City Council passed a resolution designating the Pride flag as the sole official flag of the city, allowing it to be displayed in local schools and government facilities.
  • The resolution responded to Montana's HB 819, a law banning Pride flags on public property but allowing official municipal flags, creating a legal loophole.
  • Community members largely supported flying the Pride flag to ensure LGBTQIA visibility and safety, while a few councilors and residents opposed it as divisive.
  • City Attorney Ryan Sudbury noted the bill's wording lacked clarity, and Rep. Melody Cunningham called the Pride flag a 'historical flag' important for inclusivity.
  • The resolution asserts local authority against state restrictions, implying ongoing legal debates and reinforcing Missoula’s commitment to LGBTQIA inclusion.
