| Sumario: | This research aims to identify the social representations of LGBT old age among the elderly population. A number of 100 people participated in the research; they were aged between 60 and 86 years (M = 66.9 years, SD = 6.8). Most participants were female (69%), married (40%), catholic (50%) and heterosexual (91.3%). Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Subsequently, the interviews were submitted to an analysis in the Iramuteq software by the Descending Hierarchical Classification method. It originated 4 classes of semantic approximation. Data obtained showed that the Social Representations of LGBT old age are mostly associated to negative stigma and prejudice. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a successful old age for this part of the population, based on a discussion that provides better understanding of what LGBT old age is, as well as encouraging other studies to guide professional practices for this group. |
