The author proposes the presentation and analysis of an interview, a "case study", around the interactions between disability, sexuality, and old age, to show what can be, and what has been, the sexuality and love of Tristan, who describes himself as a disabled old PD. This article seeks to question the destiny of the thirty-something French homosexual men, whose portrait was drawn by Pollak and Schiltz during the 1980s. It is not, on this basis, to analyze the average behavior of the homosexual over 50 years old, moreover disabled, but rather to study, through a rich and heuristic interview, the sexuality of Tristan and its meanings.
Keywords: disability; old age; Michael Pollak; homosexuality; case study.
