Summary:The postproduction’s decision to erase the LGBTQ affair between Ayo and Okoye characters unleashed a protestation campaign known as #LetAyoHaveAGirlfriend.

A concept theorised by Kimberlé Crenshaw under the name of intersectionality. Nonetheless, this hashtag’s study leads to a better understanding of how minorities grasp the intersectionality concept.
