Born in the 1940s, Edmund knew he was gay from a young age, and thanks to attitudes of the time, believed he had to be cured in order to be a successful writer.

Edmund White, the groundbreaking gay author, died last week at age 85. He was part of a generation of writers who came to prominence in the 1970s, and who documented the tragedy of AIDS, and the advance of gay rights and culture through his fiction and journalism. A transformative moment for him was the Stonewall uprising in 1969. He was in the neighborhood when "all hell broke loose." “Up until that moment we had all thought homosexuality was a medical term,” wrote White, who soon joined the protests. “Suddenly we saw that we could be a minority group — with rights, a culture, an agenda.” Here's a full tribute to him from @AssociatedPress.

Edmund White on SilverDaddies: The author had a profile on a gay hookup site and by all accounts was quite successful meeting men with it. His profile includes a nude photo of himself, but it requires a paying login to see.

That time Jean Genet got into bed with Allen Ginsberg, as told by Edmund White. Also includes Ginsberg's account of his Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon connection to actually fucking Walt Whitman. From "Arts and Letters," a very cool collection of Edmund White's thoughts on and recollections of various artists, writers and philosophers.
