Can a person who is asexual and aromantic identify as straight, gay or bi? If they prefer platonic relationships with the opposite sex can they say that they are straight?

It's a free country, so why not?

It's a common stereotype associated with asexual/aromantic people, but people who identify as "ace" do feel sexual and/or romantic attraction, but the circumstances have to be right for an "ace person" to feel such desires.

So why not?
