Bohnett was born in <a href="/facts/Chicago%2c_Illinois/yPMokrXH">Chicago, Illinois</a> in 1956, and grew up in <a href="/facts/Hinsdale%2c_Illinois/17RRUpIh">Hinsdale</a>, an affluent Chicago suburb, with Republican parents.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1">1</a> His father was a business executive and his mother was a preschool teacher.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2">2</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a> His sister Wendy Bohnett Campbell is a past president of the board of the <a href="/facts/Dayton_Philharmonic/eeJHSwhV">Dayton Philharmonic</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> and his brother William is a retired corporate attorney and was on the national board of the <a href="/facts/Smithsonian_Institution/pqC74ta9">Smithsonian Institution</a> from 2009 to 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>
Bohnett was interested in business at an early age, selling <a href="/facts/Amway/fRKdXBgk">Amway</a> products and delivering newspapers. In high school he became fascinated by computers, and chose to attend college at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Southern_California/N0v9R5gs">University of Southern California</a> – where he received a <a href="/facts/Bachelor_of_Science/9n3gvDf7">BS</a> in business administration – because it was one of the few universities at the time with a <a href="/facts/Computer_science/lN3pEyPz">computer science</a> program.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> He put himself through college by waiting tables, guiding tours at <a href="/facts/Universal_Destinations_%2526_Experiences/6nmKowj3">Universal Studios</a>, and other service jobs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>
In his youth, Bohnett experienced the isolation and pain of being gay, first in his conservative suburban hometown, and then in 1978 in college when his first lover, from a small-town Indiana Catholic family, committed suicide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> Bohnett became active in <a href="/facts/Gay_rights/UpImJVJQ">gay rights</a> at graduate school at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Michigan/6e1Ea5xh">University of Michigan</a>, beginning in the fall of 1978 as a hotline counselor at the <a href="/facts/Jim_Toy/wGHuEAtu">Jim Toy</a>–founded University of Michigan Lesbian and Gay Male Program Office, now called the <a href="/facts/Spectrum_Center_(community_center)/dneYwG7C">Spectrum Center</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> As an openly gay MBA student, he volunteered to go to freshman psychology classes and, looking like an average Midwesterner, said to the students, "I'm gay, ask me anything."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> He received his <a href="/facts/MBA/as5mA3R3">MBA</a> in finance from University of Michigan's <a href="/facts/Ross_School_of_Business/LdCdPGH3">Ross School of Business</a> in 1980.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a>
When he returned to <a href="/facts/Los_Angeles/pyXpYEX9">Los Angeles</a> after graduate school, he became involved with <a href="/facts/GLAAD/LuHNNyWm">GLAAD</a> and the <a href="/facts/Los_Angeles_Gay_and_Lesbian_Center/9D3F7GbF">Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center</a>, came out to his parents, and in 1983 entered a longterm relationship with fellow activist and <a href="/facts/Openly_gay/MoxnWaot">openly gay</a> judge <a href="/facts/Rand_Schrader/beYtw0ze">Rand Schrader</a>, 11 years his senior.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> When Schrader died in the AIDS epidemic in 1993, Bohnett, like many surviving same-sex partners prior to <a href="/facts/Marriage_equality/J2dpSgaV">marriage equality</a>, was left with no legal spousal benefits and a significant estate tax bill.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> He did however receive $386,000 from Schrader's life insurance.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> Bohnett had been a staff <a href="/facts/Information_systems/apcSzFLh">information systems</a> consultant at <a href="/facts/Arthur_Andersen/K5gFnxpq">Arthur Andersen</a> from 1980 to 1983 and, unable to be openly gay in that world, he had left to work at software companies instead.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> As his career in software was progressing, and shortly after Schrader's death, he searched for a way to tie together the software and activist sides of his life. Around this time the <a href="/facts/World_Wide_Web/wvnTrWFq">World Wide Web</a> was just starting to be introduced, and he felt compelled to be a part of it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>

<h3>GeoCities</h3>
In 1994 Bohnett's business and software expertise, and his interest in giving people a voice and a chance to meet people of similar interests, led him to develop <a href="/facts/GeoCities.com/BxjPFJHX">GeoCities.com</a>, with John Rezner as co-founder and chief technical officer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a> GeoCities was one of the first <a href="/facts/Web_hosting_service/sDHN29ve">web hosting companies</a> and one of the first <a href="/facts/Social_networking/qFIh6VT1">social networking</a> sites on the internet, an early forerunner of <a href="/facts/MySpace/dES860Ro">MySpace</a> and <a href="/facts/Facebook/0IhXFR6u">Facebook</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> It allowed users to engage in a variety of innovative activities – create their own free webpages, organized into communities of interest; connect with others online; express their passions, creativity, and individuality; and engage in e-commerce.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> The site grew very rapidly, receiving millions of users who set up webpages;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> at its peak it ultimately reached 38 million pages, created by individual users.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> GeoCities was the first large internet venture built on user-generated content,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a> and in 2008 <a href="/facts/TechRadar/bQ2yIhNE">TechRadar</a> cited it as #2 in its list of "20 websites that changed the world".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a>

<h3>Baroda Ventures</h3>
