Gore Vidal, born 1925, is an American writer notorious for his promotion of homosexuality and transexualism in two of his novels.
Wikipedia reveals:
- Because of his matter-of-fact treatment of homosexual relations in such books as The City and The Pillar, Vidal is often seen as an early and unrelenting champion of sexual liberation. Sexually Speaking: Collected Sex Writings, a representative sampling of his views, contains literary and cultural essays that document his long campaign to mock and subvert conventional American attitudes toward sex.

The main character of City rapes and murders a man who resists his sexual advances. The hero of Myra Breckinridge also rapes a man.
