The major outbreak actually started around '77. There were minor ones dating back to the 20s, but all those people died after their friends groups got it. The sexual revolution/hippie movement made it easier to spread, but the disease wasn't introduced into mainstream gays until the time the Cubans started coming to Miami as Castro emptied his jails. Not saying the Cubans brought it, they displaced a lot of neighborhoods in the Miami area. That dispersal led to gays going to other gay ghettos in big cities and that probably spread it.
Did they ever find patient zero for the USA issue and patient zero that started the thing? I mean, the research always lead back to buggery with animals.
?APA removed gay from the DSM in 73
