Abstract
School plays a crucial role in shaping adolescent identity, but despite today's perception of being more accepting, LGBT students still face challenges. This study explored student attitudes toward homosexuality and its correlations with age, gender, religious involvement, exposure to LGBT communities, and preferences for LGBT-themed media. Data was collected from 312 students aged 12-16 in a Claveria West District school during the 2022-2023 academic year using a Likert scale survey. The analysis involved frequency counts, percentages, weighted means, and Pearson correlations in IBM SPSS Statistics. Results showed that 55.40% of respondents were male and 44.60% were female, with an average age of 14. Overall, attitudes towards homosexuality in school were generally liberal and accepting across various contexts. Participants were open to working with homosexual peers, joining organizations with LGBT members, and having homosexual teachers. The study found significant associations between attitudes and age, gender, church attendance, personal LGBT experiences, and media preferences, while religion and exposure to LGBT communities showed no significant correlation. The study recommends mechanisms for creating safe and inclusive schools for LGBT students.
