Default Gays and tastes.....

Is it true or accurate to state that gay men are more shallow than straights?

If so, is there any explanation as to why?

If you're straight, then your generalization is false.

(BTW: what do you mean by "shallow" and "tastes"? It's not clear to me what the connection is.)

Hell no! I'm as straight as an arrow and I'm completely vapid.

No, because it's a generalization and generalizations are too simplistic to be true and accurate.

Yes, what do you mean by "shallow"? Whatever you mean, I was under the impression that it was men in general (straight or gay) who had the reputation of being shallow. *chuckle*

The question in the OP is untestable.
