The original sample consisted of 2482 students aged 12–18 from public secondary and vocational schools in Andalusia (Spain). For the present study, analyses were conducted with a subsample of 1,035 students who reported witnessing bullying and completed items about teachers’ responses. Four profiles of perceived teachers’ responses to LGBTQ+bullying were identified: active and supportive (58.5%), moderately contradictory (11%), highly contradictory (4.2%), and disengaged responses (26.3%). For general bullying, four profiles were also identified: active and supportive (59.6%), intermittent supportive (15.5%), highly contradictory (5.9%), and disengaged responses (19%). Disengaged responses were more prevalent in LGBTQ+bullying than in general bullying. While response profiles were unrelated to students’ SOGIE, they were linked to their bullying roles. In LGBTQ+bullying, students who perceived contradictory and disengaged responses were more likely to be bullies or bully-victims. For general bullying, students who perceived teachers as intermittently supportive, contradictory, or disengaged also had higher odds of being bully-victims. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
