All sexually active people can get STDs, including gay men. However, nobody gets STDs just because of their sexual orientation.

Also, there are times when anyone can be at risk for an STD, even if they don't ever have sex. Sometimes criminals assault police officers with tainted syringes. Sometimes a person going through garbage may get cut with bloody broken glass or poked with a syringe. A healthcare worker might accidentally get poked with a syringe or cut with a used scalpel (or cut themselves while doing surgery). Hepatitis is considered a STD, but you can also get it through food contact.

By having sex without using condoms. A condom is an essential part of your belongings if you are having sex with people that you don't know very well.

If gay people have std and they're gay can they get it?

Depends on what you mean by "it". The germs that cause STDs don't know if you're gay or straight, male or female, so a gay person can get an STD from any sex partner who has an STD. But if you're asking if a gay person with an STD can make another person gay, the answer is No. Being gay isn't a disease.
