This just popped up in my head and I'm genuinley curious

I feel like a straight ally flag would be…more respectful as a profile picture? Not sure

Wikipedia wrote:

“A straight flag or heterosexual flag is a pride flag intended to represent heterosexuality. Some straight flags represent straight pride, a conservative countermovement to gay pride. There is also the straight ally flag, which is intended to represent allyship by straight people with the LGBT community.”

Is this what you mean?

it would not be against the community guidelines to have a straight flag as your PFP as you aren't putting anybody down. however, while you won't be banned (most likely), you might get a lot of trolls, like Right-wing Discussion did before it was taken down.

yes as long as you are an ally

No, not necessarily an ally, saying you are straight isn't against the CG.

Unless, of course, there are a lot of negative connotations associated with the straight flag besides “I support straight and LGBTQ don't like that,” in which case you might be banned.

The straight flag itself is associated with anti-LGBTQ connotations (afaik)
So it's better to use the straight ally flag.

Saying “I am straight” is not against the Community Guidelines. Using the “straight pride” flag (the one that is purely black-and-white) is against the Community Guidelines. While Gay Pride was enacted to help raise up a persecuted minority, the notion of “straight pride” is typically used as an attempt to diminish the goals of Gay Pride.

If you are straight and you want to use a flag to represent that, use the “Straight Ally” flag, or use a general Pride flag. Do not use the “straight pride” flag — use the Report button on anyone who uses that flag.

This topic is resolved. I'll close it to help highlight the answer above and prevent future responses.
