MODERATORS
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.
