A queer athlete has celebrated turning 20 by flying a Pride flag near the summit of the second-highest mountain on earth – in a country where same-sex acts are criminalized. He said he did it to inspire other LGBTQ+ athletes. California-based Aidan Hyman withstood intense altitude symptoms, blood clusters, and fever in order to unfurl the Pride flag near the top of K2 in Pakistan. The queer athlete trekked for almost three weeks and celebrated his birthday on June 20 with his teammates and climbers he met in the small village of Askoi.
