Abstract: This research aims to identify the social representations of old age LGBT among the elderly population. A number of 100 people participated in the research, with age between 60 and 86 years (M= 66,9 years, SD= 6,8). The majority of the participants were female (69%), married (40%), catholics (50%) and heterosexual (91.3%). Were used semi-structured interviews to collect data. Subsequently, the interviews were submitted to an analysis, in the Iramuteq software, by the method of the Descending Hierarchical Classification that originated 4 classes of semantic approximation. Data obtained showed that the Social Representations of LGBT old age are, for the most part, associated to negative stigmas and prejudice. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a successful old age of this part of the population, based on a discussion that provides a better understanding of what is LGBT old age, as well as encouraging other studies to guide professional practices for this group
