Some people in real life make their sexuality their entire persona.

Those people exist.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to be a protagonist?

Because in a story you generally don't want your characters to be as vapid as a puddle of water, like people who make one trait their entire personality.

Having a character with a varied personality makes it easier for people to view them as an actual person, rather than just a narrative tool, which makes them take the characters struggles more seriously.

The other person said it better than I ever could.

But also: they can be a protagonist. It's just that these movies are usually pretty shit.
