Abstract
La investigación se centra en la representación de la Comunidad LGBTQ+ a través de medios audiovisuales, con un enfoque particular en la miniserie Heartstopper, y con el objetivo de comprender los significados que los jóvenes que han visto la miniserie le otorgan. 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. Los resultados evidencian que la audiencia comprende esta miniserie como crucial para la juventud mientras le atribuyen significados a su identidad, al proceso de salir del clóset y a la representación de personajes LGBTQ+.
