Cars actually do run a bit cooler when the A/C is on, because the AC turns on radiator fans. That keeps the radiator temp down.
Remember, the radiator fan is there to replace airflow when you're stuck in traffic and not moving. Depending on the year of the car, it comes on when the radiator gets hot, not the engine. So the engine temp, which is what the gauge shows, gets hotter.
It is very normal for the radiator fan to come on when the car isn't moving, or moving slowly. Something has to replace the airflow you normally get when driving along.
