Certainly, a gay person conceives the music in a slightly other way than a straight one - but don't we
all conceive an art work on our own, personal way? We shall consider the old problem with statistics: the differences between two groups might be less important than the differences within each group.
In the sphere of art, there is often a misconception of "what the artist actually wanted to express". Humans as we are tend to interprete any given work of art depending on their own experiences, feelings and general cultural background. Therefore one can never be sure that what one feels corresponds with "what the artist actually wanted to express" - so any attempt of too tight an interpretation is very risky.
It is indeed very probable that people with similar experiences might feel similar. The only question is, what might be of superiour influence to our emotions then - the level of education, social background or our gayness? Who knows, whether twink gay cowboys feel similar with an older paedophile in "Death in Venice" by Visconti?
