Objective: to understand how active older people use information about Covid-19. Methodologically, a Case Study of a unique type of qualitative methodological theoretical approach was carried out, based on Thomas Wilson's theory of Information Behavior. Semi-structured interviews were carried out, seeking to reach theoretical saturation of the data. Thus, 31 elderly people were interviewed, obtaining an average age of 69 years, mostly with high education. As a result, it was observed that the information was used to assimilate the phenomenon experienced, in the search for understanding how to act and make decisions about health care. It is considered that the case presented elderly people who started to feel more able to select the news during the pandemic period.

The results indicate that social networks play a fundamental role in disseminating homoparental identities and provide a significant space for public debate on homoparentality, contributing to the construction of identity self-concept.
