<p>This study examined the perspectives of LGBTQ+ students on school safety, drawing on their own experiences and voices, as most research has relied on survey data that often limits LGBTQ+ students’ voices. This qualitative study conducted a focus group interview with eight participants to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives on school safety. From the semi-structured group interview, three themes emerged: Feeling Connected to School, Protection at School, and Feeling Seen and Accepted. Participants’ responses were commensurate with current literature, stating that they experience victimization and unequal consequences at school based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. The role of teachers and administrators was found to impact the perspectives of LGBTQ+ students on school climate, with participants indicating a desire for more protection at school against victimization and harassment. Having close connections with teachers was also seen as a contributor to positive perspectives on school climate. Interestingly, this study found that GSA clubs and policies forbidding anti-LGBTQ+ harassment were not enough to create safer, more positive schools for LGBTQ+ students. Future research should use qualitative methods with LGBTQ+ students to further contribute to the literature on LGBTQ+ students’ perspectives on school climate and to broaden the scope to include metro and rural areas, which may yield different insights and barriers than those found in this research.</p>
