Man climbs Mount Everest to protest Uganda treatment of LGBT people

Story here

From the article:

Recording atop Mount Everest, Kenny Solomons said he had met a gay Ugandan named Roger, who was forced to flee the country because a mob attempted to burn him alive.

Holding up hand-written cards, Solomons says: “Uganda’s anti-gay law is sick and must change… Uganda is killing people because of who they love.

"Save the LGBT people of Uganda.”
