So what if people do think you're gay? Is that so bad? Do you expect backlash or would that cause trouble for you? If so, I'm sorry and that sucks.
Otherwise, I find that the kind of people who will assume you are, and then consider that a problem, are probably unpleasant to be around anyway.
Reasonable folks, allies, and LGBT people may ask, but then be like "oh cool! Love an ally."
If it's important to you to be seen as an ally, also consider ally flag merch! Its not as fun as the rainbow, but it's a good way to send the message that you're a safe person to be around.
Nah I'm fine with backlash, I just don't want to be inconvenienced with people who automatically think I'm queer.
But also the straight ally flag is a little cringe and might be disingenuous. If you're gonna be a supporter might as well be a whole supporter.
Maybe I should rep both simultaneously?
Edit3: also, this might be extremely hot take but the progress flag is a little cringe for me because it's kinda the same as lgbtqia2s+. I never felt the need to go beyond lgbtq because the q stood for everything else.
Also, the normal pride flag is easier to draw
