Neal Gottlieb, a contestant on the most recent season Survivor, hiked to the top of Mount Mitchell, the highest mountaintop in North Carolina.

 

He wanted to take a stand against the state's House Bill 2, recently passed anti-LGBT legislation which forces trans people to use restrooms that do not correspond with their gender identity. So Gottlieb placed a rainbow-colored outhouse with a trans Pride flag at the mountain’s peak.

 

He then took to Facebook to write an open letter to Governor McCrory:

Burn!

 

Gottlieb added, "Of course you can admit that you shit the bed, reverse HB2 and wipe away the mess this harmful legislation leaves behind. We all make mistakes. Please stop dumping on freedom and admit your wrongs. We’ll all feel much better when this passes.”

 

 

This is not the first time Gottlieb has spoken out in support of LGBT rights. “In 2014 I placed a flag on the top of Uganda’s tallest mountain in protest of the country’s criminalization of homosexuality," he explained. "It’s sad that I would have reason to undertake a similar protest on United States soil, but I saw in 2014 how such an action can have far reach, call our leaders and inspire others to keep up the good fight. The idea for the outhouse and how it tied in with the “bathroom bill” came to me about two weeks ago out of the blue.”

 

Thank God he's on our side!
