This study was conducted on four persons aged around 50 who said that they had no troubles due to being a sexual minority. In this study, the absence of any problems was regarded as the state of being able to adapt to society. In the group interview, I asked them what they thought they had learned from their life experiences. The purpose of this study was to clarify what supports the social adaptation of the person concerned from the analysis by the KJ method.The results showed the following characteristics: (1) the existence of family members and others who accept them as they are, (2) a self-adjusting mindset that allows them to accept their situation without trying to forcibly change it, and (3) the idea that their identity is not a framework of being a sexual minority person but a "I am a person" who lives independently. Awareness of these points within the individual and environment may promote adaptation and prevent mental health decline in middle-aged and older sexual minorities.
