Michel McDonald author of Diary of a Gay Nerd: Life After Child Abuse, It Gets Better!
Diary of a Gay Nerd is the memoir of a child abuse survivor. He doesn't consider himself a victim as his
sister claims, he considers himself a survivor and chose this platform to raise awareness of child abuse
in America in the 1970's and 80's and especially how gay children are still being treated by
homophobic parents and families.
The book chronicles nearly 41 years in 41 chapters. The book details child abuse issues, Mike as a
homeless teenager and his many relationships up until his current relationship which had lasted 17
years.
Michel currently lives in Bakersfield with his partner of 20 years. He has many crafting hobbies and he
sells them on Etsy as a supplemental income because his disability isn't enough to live on. He has been
living with AIDS for more than 20 years and he has a mild form of Parkinson's and Scoliosis.
The book cover says 10% of profits from the book go to charity, but after he published the book, he
decided that he wanted to give 10% of profits to each of 3 LGBT organizations. PFLAG Bakersfield,
Bakersfield Gay & Lesbian Center and Bakersfield AIDS Project “Ricky's Retreat.”
