Put me in the camp that thinks the joke had nothing to do with AIDS. We are several decades removed from jokes like that really having any relevance. Acceptance of homosexuality has increased exponentially and AIDS has evolved away from being a disease of gay men to one more associated with developing countries that do not have the medical abilities or cultural desire to prevent STDs. Even if for some reason Maclean was a closeted bigot, the joke just isn't one that is made any more. I honesty didn't even make the connection until I read the comments.
