Help honor our LGBTQ+ elders today

I cannot support this lgbtq sexual movement and neither should a government agency be supporting them also.
I will be unsubscribing from your emails.

I am not LBGTQ but I am a senior citizen. Why are the two lumped together.

I am among the elderly and I don’t want to be grouped with LGBTQ+. I’m not related to that group in any way.

Dear Ari Lazarus: Thank you, so much, for this information. It is so helpful and I certainly appreciate it very much. I welcome this very useful type of communication from such an important government post. Keep up the good work.

I’m an elderly B woman and I don’t know of any + elderly. Neither does my 75 year old L woman whom I care for. This is why this whole “new” agenda to push recognition is being denounced by the original equal rights fighters for the LGB community. We want no part of this!

Thank you, so very much for being a source to report suspected scams, fraud and impersonators to get our personal information and money!

I am very happy to see the FTC celebrating this day.

How is this a "consumer alert"? A celebration is not an "alert".

Are you srious...You want money to celebrate a persons sexual preference. To me that is a personal choice...not a nationality! I am a straight black male and when are we going to celebrate my sexual preference????

I get a whole bunch of unidentifiable messages daily, I just delete them. It's the scammers online I have to watch.. Romance scammers they're called..

This is supposed to be a Consumer Site, Do not want to hear about LGBTQ items. I don't know how this is a FTC topic?

Thank you, staff at the FTC, for reaching out to the LGBTQ+ community with messages about how to avoid being scammed.

Even mentioning the LGBTQ+ community (my community) by name is important to me. Too often, large agencies neglect to do outreach to specific communities, assuming that everyone should feel included without mentioning specific groups by name. Thank you, FTC, for your efforts to intentionally include LGBTQ+ persons in your anti-scam information programs. What you do makes a positive difference!

Did the FTC decide this is LTGBQ + elders day / month? I like the way whoever decided this day/month slipped in ‘the elders’ to deflect from the high controversial topic of LTBGQ to your Christian citizens of the United States.

Highlighting non-Christian values is not what what government agencies are for. The FTC should remain neutral.

Your narratives should be to the addressed to the public at large & not singling out a specific group to help.

I live and work in the Lancaster/Baltimore, Ohio area. Seniors no matter their sexual preference and underserved especially women who were never married and on Social Security. I see women who worked outside the home their whole lives and because they weren't deemed marriage material or pretty enough, they didn't marry. Now they suffer with small SS checks denied food stamps, high rents and living in cars and low rent hovels trying to live. They die young of preventable diseases because they are over-looked. Their male cohorts live much better with larger checks and more opportunity. The ERA hasn't passed in 100 years and it shows.

I am 83....WHY is my day of honor being combined with the LGBTQ+ group? They can believe as they choose but I choose not to be honored this way and find it to be a poor combination.

Why not include all elders instead of dividing society? We all live life together and are faced with similar scams and trials. As a tax-funded agency, there should be no such division supported, and most certainly NOT advertised!

Elderly and NO adjectives are needed!!!
