Pull the current. It doesn't illustrate the trope, and it isn't an example of the trope.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.
I see neither "fanbase" nor "LGBT" in this, given that the person on the right looks like a girl. Kill it.
Aye, the current image is really bad. I've uploaded the OP pic, although I note that this is "LGBT fanbase" not "LGBT work":
I don't know how you would show it better than that. The current certainly isn't doing it.
Hi
It's excommunicated. I'm not crazy about the suggestion.
According to this
Queers Dig Time Lords is a [collection of fascinating essays, articles, musings and recollections from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ for short) community of fans celebrating Doctor Who!]

Maybe a picture showing Real Life fans in a convention supporting a gay or lesbian couple? (Though admittedly finding an image like that is VERY difficult)

But people being fans of a gay couple is not this trope. LGBT Fanbase is an Audience Reaction for a situation when a work resonates with LGBT people.
Here's a suggestion. The first two panels provide the "LGBT" context while the last panel provides the "fanbase" part. I've provided appropriate censorship to comply with TV Tropes' requirement for no nudity, even though the uncensored version is legal due to the context (or lack of it).

That's an LGBT work with a fanbase. We're looking for something that shows that a work has an LGBT fanbase, whether the work is LGBT or not.
I'm wondering if Maybe there's something we can work with in the "Friends Of Dorothy" thing.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
I was afraid that might be the case. I'm not sure it's possible to find a picture which illustrates this trope. I think the best we'll be able to do is find a work which is well known (at least amongst the LGBT people) as an example of the trope. I hope I'm wrong but I fear I'm right.

Quite frankly, I ran out of ideas for this case. Imageless, then?

How about this?

I seriously doubt this can be given an appropriate image, LGBT fans don't happen to have any actual differences that makes them different from those who aren't part of those groups so what do you use?
Probably not Neil Patrick-Harris.

It's NPH. Being carried by sailors. During a musical number called, "Not just for gays anymore." It depicts a fandom of NPH in the most literal way possible. What's missing?
Zzzzzzzzzz
Mostly all that context that you just explained. It could be the end of any major musical number in a musical play.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Like Fiddler on the Roof? Are you kidding me? This is about a fanbase and a real life demographic. I don't think we can just say, okay, context doesn't count for anything.
I still believe that my suggestion in 11 is slightly better than no image, but I'm willing to agree to leave the trope imageless if the majority disagree.
I'm afraid that 15 doesn't suggest anything particularly "gay" to me, regardless of the source.

^^ No no, the suggestion is missing all that context. Context would count for something, but the image doesn't have any. A bunch of additional info would make it an okay image, but you'd have to already know (or be told) that info for it to make any sense.
^ It's Not An Example. The idea is: there is a sizable contingent of fans that are LGBT, not that the work is.
Even if it was spot on, that's really wordy, and even reading all of it, still pretty unclear. Not an improvement on no image, IMO.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I say let's just leave this blank for now.
The Queers Dig Time Lords image would be pretty good but it's missing the information that the protagonist of Doctor Who? is an alien called a Time Lord. The caption can fill that in...
I personally like that option.

I brought this up in the Trope Repair Shop
thread for this trope where everything above the examples section was unclear. This included the image. The image is currently a Middle Ages painting thing of David and Jonathan. One of the posters remarked how the image only illustrates Ho Yay and I'm sure the Bible does not have a majority LGBT fanbase.
I don't think this is a trope that can be represented by an image, though a search of gay fanbases turned up a cover for a book titled Queers Dig Time Lords.
