La metodología propuesta incluye un enfoque correlacional, un diseño no experimental y cualitativo, utilizando revisión bibliográfica y grupos focales como una de las herramientas principales. La investigación se centra en dos escenas, una de cada temporada, donde se contempla al personaje principal, Nick Nelson, saliendo del clóset.
