Back then they were still politically dispensable, and since city lifestyle gays already had far higher incidence of auto-immune disease through Hepatitis A (I'll spare you as to why) and C, they were an ideal target group to make subject of a 'new' disease with which to test out a kill, sorry cure on.
People used to be confused as to why heterosexuals started getting 'HIV' because it was a 'gay' disease. The answer is it never was a 'gay' disease, it always was a galvanisation of auto-immune disease. If you look at the lifestyles of the majority of heterosexuals developing HIV in Western societies, you will find a common theme of heavy intravenous drug and chronic alcohol misuse, both major adjuvants to Hepatitis.
