Certain sub-cultural groups are drawn to certain musical styles, but the music itself has no sexuality other than what is assigned to it by said subculture.
If gays want to be treated as equals (which they are) then they'd do well to cease the separation of themselves from the culture which they wish to be considered equal too. That includes musical tastes and preferences in general. We are all human with different likes and dislikes. There is no "straight" music because that would be discriminatory. So why is there "gay" music?

Music has what one personally attributes to it.
Right or wrong, differing perspectives, music is as subjective as anything else.
I've agreed with both of your points (above). The only element I added was that the music itself has no sexuality other than that assigned by the subjective listener.
I know gays that listen to AC/DC, does that make AC/DC's music "gay"?
I know straights that listen to Streisand, does that make Streisand's music straight?
The answer to both questions is "no".
That's my entire point. The music takes on the persona of the subjective listener, but the music itself, has no sexuality.
