I haven't read any books, and I didn't pay enough attention at the time, but it seems pretty clear White was strongly motivated by wanting his job back, and thus his killing of Mayor Moscone (who refused) was almost certainly related to that.
His murder of Milk was also likely related to their relationship as city supervisors, and only tangentially (if at all) to Harvey's status as a gay rights leader (though perhaps his activism and political position cannot be separated). Whether White was a closet case and whether that had anything to do with either twinkies or the murders is rank speculation.
His motives are pretty much speculation as well ... but the job issue is the clearest of the murky lot.
