Paris Hilton Thinks Gay Men Are 'Disgusting' And 'Probably Have AIDS'

Poor Paris Hilton. No matter how hard she tries to revamp her image -- how long she stays out of the public eye, how many trips to hospitals and orphanages she takes -- she just kind of can't help but be a douchebag: Earlier this month, the hotel heiress was recorded by a cab driver saying that gay men are disgusting, and most of them probably have AIDS.
TMZ reports that Hilton was talking to a friend, who happens to be gay, in the backseat of a cab on September 7 when said friend began telling her about Grindr, an app that men can use to find male sexual partners.
She responded, "Ewwww ... gay guys are the horniest people in the world...they're disgusting...Dude most of them probably have AIDS ... I would be so scared if I was a gay guy ... you'll like die of AIDS."
