It's not happening to the extent that I am making it out to be- I will admit it may be rather hyperbolic in language. Nonetheless, I do see it happening, such that somehow a disease that never really was transmitted predominately through sex is now being claimed as being a sex only disease targeting gay men i.e. "a gay disease".

There's a large difference between saying that this is a disease predominately spreading through the gay community (of which they should be alerted) as well as say this is a disease only affecting gay men. I don't appreciate the level to which a mischaracterization is occurring with respect to how this disease transmits if it depends on some biases.
As to the question, it's probably because it includes bisexual men. I suppose it's a difference between behavior and sexual orientation. But I do think "gay sex" would actually be an accurate depiction.
