...I couldn't find any confirmation of that. They don't seem to know who patient zero was. But he was apparently gay.

This is why the issue is so contentious. No one here is relating the best available evidence and the historical record.

The consensus scientific view is that it came out of Africa, eventually made its way to Haiti and ultimately ended up in the US.

Then of course you had the KGB stepping in. KGB supposedly spread the US germ warfare story, though I believe they denied they were every involved (of course). One also has the polio vaccine hypothesis.
