The article explores the family, intimate and friendship configurations of gay and lesbian older adults as well as the continuities and transitions during aging in a Quebec context. The analysis is based on the completion of 22 one-on-one semi-structured interviews with gay and lesbian older adults aged 60 to 76 from a doctoral research. The main results relate to the practices and meanings associated with intimate life, family and friendships as well as to transitions during aging. The analysis of the results suggests taking into consideration the entire social network of gay and lesbian older adults in the field of family and social work in order to be able to understand their realities and respond to their needs in the social practices.
