Abstract—This study explores the teachers’ attitudes towards teaching LGBT learners in the school setting. It employed a qualitative research approach and a case study design, employing semi-structured interviews for data collection. Four participants, two male and two female teachers, were selected from a primary school in the Eastern Free State, South Africa. The data were analysed using a thematic analysis. The findings revealed that there has been slight progress in the school regarding LGBT issues. Most teachers showed that they have no problem teaching LGBT learners. They make efforts to accommodate and create a safe learning environment for such learners; however, the study also revealed that some teachers who seemed optimistic in creating a safe learning environment for LGBT learners still do not approve of people who are LGBT and hold some strong negative thoughts towards these people.
