Yes, you absolutely can! Being heterosexual does not mean you are not queer/LGBTQ+, because you can still be aro, or biromantic, or homoromantic (which all fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella). And even so, you identify as demisexual/grey-a and even if you still experience sexual attraction to the opposite sex and may come off as straight-passing, that does not invalidate your experiences or the fact that you lie on the asexual spectrum. What matters is if you're comfortable with calling yourself queer. If you are, great, but if you aren't, its okay, find something your comfortable with!
I hope my response helped! :D

I'm confused as I'm bi, but I get very grossed out when it comes to any kind of physical affection to girls. But the opposite when it comes to guys.The emotional feelings are the same,but not the physical?

Can I call myself queer if I'm biromantic and demisexual/grey-a but still heterosexual? Do I have to be something other than heterosexual or cisgender in order to call myself or be labeled as queer?
