For Colorado seniors, finding companionship and support can be tough, and particularly for those in the gay, lesbian and transgender community.

"Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet" goes the old ad jingle.

GM's Saturn brand ran its first ad in a national LGBT magazine in 1995, and since then, most of its brands have sponsored events or advertised in LGBT media, said Joe LaMuraglia, GM's LGBT communications manager, in an e-mail to me.
