At age 16, he presented a testimony against a Bathroom bill under consideration by the Kentucky legislature and helped prevent its passage.[4] When discussing the bill, he stated:[4]

"When you walk in somewhere where nobody else goes or have to leave class for extra time to walk into the basement, that opens yourself up to not being a normal kid . . . I don’t feel like I should have to change my life to accommodate their hatred."

His mother is Kentucky state senator Karen Berg.[5]
