Yes, it is. A particularly nasty one where the body wastes away.
But I’m not aware of it having any particular connection with gays.
A correlation with gays is not what is significant. What is significant is the correlation between gay and early death. That age of death of 47 years is another number in that array.
After a while, the correlation between early death and gayness makes any thought that this relates only to known connections to particular diseases irrelevant.
