Known for his work 'The Joy of Gay Sex' published in 1977, White became a controversial figure during a time when such open discussions were rare. His autobiographical novel 'A Boy's Own Story' published in 1982, further solidified his reputation as a pivotal gay writer, exploring themes of identity and sexuality.
