Read this, I am not trying to attack a specific political party or ideology. I am simply pointing out a case of extreme ignorance.

The gay disease was an epidemic of the late 1970s and early 1980s, which afflicted homosexual men. Later it was called AIDS and attributed to HIV.
The term "gay disease" was applied without prejudice[1] The term was in fact coined by a physician who was himself homosexual.[Citation Needed] It was only later that the term fell into disfavor.[Citation Needed] Organizations promoting homosexuality wanted to get the public to believe that AIDS was not just a threat to promiscuous homosexual men. [3] They used slogans such as "not a gay disease" to spread this idea.
* Extremely sexually active men who had sex with large numbers of other men unknowingly helped spread HIV in the early stages of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. ... Many people, however, remain unsure whether to blame gays for AIDS or to view them as unfortunate victims in a public health nightmare. [2]
Effects of PR campaign
* The explosive spread of AIDS occurred when the known evidence about HIV transmission among Gay men was suppressed by the media. The medical science establishment did not speak up. HIV is most easily transmitted through anal intercourse, because the anus bleeds far more easily than the vagina. So one Gay man simply passes blood products straight on to the next. Sexually transmitted plagues have been studied scientifically ever since syphilis arose several centuries ago. We know how to limit their spread, but many Gay men have died as a result of political suppression of scientific medicine. The spread of AIDS was partly a self-inflicted wound. [4]
