The LGBT community comprises four main groups: 1) Lesbian - women who emotionally, physically, and/or spiritually feel attracted to other women; 2) Gay - men who emotionally, physically, and/or spiritually feel attracted to other men; 3) Bisexual - individuals attracted to both opposite and same genders; 4) Transgender - those whose gender identity differs from their anatomical sex, leading to a choice to undergo or not undergo gender reassignment surgery to align with their desired gender identity.This quantitative cross-sectional study employed a questionnaire to collect data from a sample of 99 respondents, teenagers aged 15-19, enrolled in Bukittinggi's senior high schools. Non probability purposive sampling was utilized for participant selection, and univariate analysis was employed for data analysis. Results indicated that 21.2% of respondents had a negative perception, 57.6% had a neutral perception, and 21.2% had a positive perception of LGBT behavior. Regarding knowledge, 58.6% had inadequate knowledge, 26.3% had moderate knowledge, and 15.2% had good knowledge of LGBT behavior. In terms of attitudes, 26.3% had negative attitudes, 56.6% had neutral attitudes, and 17.2% had positive attitudes toward LGBT individuals. The study concludes that adolescents' perceptions and attitudes toward LGBT behavior are predominantly negative, correlating with a low level of knowledge about LGBT issues.
