Paris Hilton causes stir after comments about gay men

Paris Hilton is raising eyebrows Thursday after comments she apparently made about gay men earlier this month.

TMZ said the heiress was secretly recorded during a New York cab ride while she was having a conversation with a gay friend.

A man can be heard talking with Hilton about a website sometimes used by gay men looking for sexual partners, according to TMZ.

Hilton reportedly said gay men are the horniest people and that most of them probably have AIDS.

Her rep gave a statement claiming only a part of the conversation was released and said Hilton is a supporter of the gay community. Read more of the statement.
