Must not say that homosexuals tend to be promiscuous and AIDS-infested

Even though they do tend to be

Paris Hilton has been recorded making derogatory remarks about gay men, most of whom she said "probably have AIDS", during a conversation about all-male networking app Grindr.

The story has prompted an online backlash in the US, with bloggers rushing to condemn the socialite.

According to audio of the conversation, recorded by the cab driver and published by the gossip site, the male friend described how Grindr works.  "Gay guys are the horniest people in the world," Hilton is heard to say.  "They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."

She goes on to say: "I would be so scared if I were a gay guy. You'll, like, die of AIDS."

A statement from Hilton's representative said the heiress was a "huge supporter of the gay community" and would never purposely make negative remarks about anyone's sexuality.

"Paris Hilton's comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life-threatening disease," the statement said.

"The conversation became heated, after a close gay friend told her in a cab ride, a story about a gay man who has AIDS and is knowingly having unprotected sex.

"He also discussed a website that encourages random sex by gay men with strangers. As she was being shown the website her comments were in reference to those people promoting themselves on the site.
