Background: Every day Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual (LGBT-persons [LGBT]) meet difficulties in life. Within healthcare they face discrimination and difficulties. The development of LGBT in society is on the rise, but still persons who don't fit the sexuality norm struggles to be accepted.

Method: This paper is a literature review which is based on nine quantitative articles. All the articles were analyzed by the authors looking for similarities and differences.

Results: The result of the literature review was that the nurse's values do effect on their attitudes toward LGBT-persons. The result showed that nurses who had previous experience in LGBT-persons was more accepting in their meeting. It also shows that the nurse's ethnicity and religious values had effect on their attitude toward LGBT-persons. Overall majority weighs toward difficulties in the meeting with persons who don't fit the sexuality norm. Subcategories became accepting in the meeting, difficulties in the meeting, ethnicities and accepting and previous experience with LGBT-persons.

Conclusion: Nurses today is more accepting in the meeting with LGBT-persons than they were 10 years ago.
