Your Star Alliance Gold status would only grant you access to the Priority line if you were travelling on a Star Alliance flight, and you entered the relevant *A number while checking in. The priority line has a barcode scanner, and if your barcode doesn't indicate that access is granted (either by being in Business Class on an airline that grants access, or by having the relevant status in an FFP which is compatible with the airline for which you are flying) then the gate won't open.
