Well, if a community can be defined by where you live, or the colour of your skin, or what country you immigrated from, or what sport you play, then there's no reason it can't be defined by orientation.
Firstly I’ve yet to see a community, in the socio-political sense, based on a sport. Communities are based on inherent qualities, not behavior or skills. But my main point is that real communities have some sort of historical continuity, they do not emerge as a result of social experimentation or engineering unlike the so-called ‘LGBTQ’ community, whose identity is so obviously artificially constructed that it has to be an acronym. There have been individuals with ‘homosexual’ tendencies and behaviors since time immemorial, but they were always recognized as individuals with peculiar habits, never as an actual community. It would be like saying all people who regularly shave their heads will now comprise a new community in the socio-political sense, all people who are vegetarian and refrain from eating meat are now a socio-political community. Such communities are artificially constructed and have no historical continuity. It is obvious that such artificial communities are being created for nefarious political agendas of delegitimizing or minimizing actual legitimate communities based on race and/or religion.
