“…Further possible limitations could arise from the fact that this study conducted data collection using a questionnaire published on social networks aimed at gay and bisexual men, which may have limited its ability to capture men who do not utilize these same networks, possibly biasing the sample selection.

Desta maneira, estudos apontam para o estabelecimento de vínculos com outros homossexuais e com pessoas que aceitem incondicionalmente sua realidade homoafetiva (Marques & Sousa, 2016) Outro fato que merece destaque nessa classe refere-se à ocorrência do preconceito por entenderem que os idosos LGBT encontram-se em uma fase que demanda maior cuidados por apresentarem mais fragilidade e necessidade de cuidados e por não possuírem parceiros fixos.
