Poll: Young
Americans favor
LGBT rights
WASHINGTON — Young
people in America overwhelm-
ingly support LGBT rights
when it comes to policies on
employment, health care and
adoption, according to a new
survey.
The GenForward survey of
Americans ages 18-30 found
that support for those policies
has increased over the past two
years, especially among young
whites. But relatively few of
these young adults consider
rights for people who are les-
bian, gay, bisexual and trans-
gender to be among the top
issues facing the country.
According to the indings,
92 percent of young adults
support HIV and AIDs pre-
vention, 90 percent support
equal employment, and 80
percent support LGBT adop-
tion. Across racial and ethnic
groups, broad majorities sup-
port training police on trans-
gender issues, government
support for organizations
for LGBT youth and insur-
ance coverage for transgender
health issues.
GenForward is a survey by
the Black Youth Project at the
University of Chicago with
The Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs
Research. The irst-of-its-kind
poll pays special attention to
the voices of young adults of
color, highlighting how race
and ethnicity shape the opin-
ions of the country’s most
diverse generation.
In the past two years, sup-
port has increased from 69
percent to 84 percent among
young whites for policies such
as allowing gays and lesbi-
ans to legally adopt children.
Support among this group
for employment equality for
LGBT individuals rose from
84 percent to 92 percent. The
poll also suggests support for
allowing adoption by gays and
lesbians has increased among
Hispanics over the past two
years, from 65 percent to 75
percent.
Trump faces
fresh GOP
pushback

dent, even as the list of fel-
low Republicans deeming
him unit for the Oval Ofice
grows.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a
moderate long wary of Trump,
became the latest Republican
to announce her intent not to
vote for her party’s nominee.
Days after rebuking Trump for
insinuating Somali refugees in
Maine were dangerous, Col-
lins said late Monday she’d
thought “long and hard” about
whether she was obligated to
support the GOP nominee and
decided she could not.
“With the passage of time,
I have become increasingly
dismayed by his constant
stream of cruel comments and
his inability to admit error or
apologize,” Collins wrote in a
Washington Post op-ed.
Collins wrote that she sup-
ports neither party’s nominee,
though previously she’s said
she’s open to voting for Hil-
lary Clinton.
The defection from a
respected senator added to a
chorus of GOP voices insisting
they can’t back Trump. Some
50 Republican former national
security oficials signed an
open letter calling Trump the
most reckless candidate in his-
tory, prompting a counterat-
tack from Trump, who said the
signers share blame with Clin-
ton for making the world “a
mess” and fueling the Islamic
State group’s formation.
Delta canceled
more lights
Tuesday
DALLAS — Delta’s tra-
vails, and those of its custom-
ers, move into day two with
the airline canceling of another
300 lights.
The disruptions Tuesday
follow about 1,000 cancelled
lights Monday and, accord-
ing to FlightStats, about 2,800
delayed lights, after an outage
at Delta’s Atlanta headquarters
instigated a global meltdown
of its booking and communi-
cations systems.
The airline was back online
after a number of hours Mon-
day, but the outages were so
widespread that it is still deal-
ing with the ripple effects a
day later. FlightStats, a light
tracking services, puts delayed
lights Tuesday at close to 600,
and cancelled lights closer to
330.
More than 1,000 people
spent the night at Narita airport
outside Tokyo because of the
shutdown and, while lights
were resuming Tuesday, Delta
spokeswoman Hiroko Okada
said more delays are expected.
Delta also extended to
Tuesday travel waivers issued
to the stranded.
The airline posted a video
apology by CEO Ed Bastian.
And it offered refunds and
$200 in travel vouchers to peo-
ple whose lights were can-
celed or delayed at least three
hours.
Delta’s challenge Tuesday
will be to ind enough seats on
planes during the busy sum-
mer vacation season to accom-
modate the tens of thousands
of passengers whose lights
were scrubbed.
Airlines have been putting
more people in each plane, so
when a system of a major car-
rier crashes, as has happened
with others before Delta, ind-
ing a new seat for the waylaid
becomes more dificult.
Last month, the average
Delta light was 87 percent
full.
Confusion among passen-
gers Monday was compounded
as Delta’s light-status updates
crashed as well. Instead of
staying home or poolside at a
hotel until the troubles blew
over, many passengers only

They were stuck.
The disruption was so
deeply rooted Monday that at
one point, the airline warned

“Those who even did not

innocent lawyers and other

Pakistani
lawyers mourn US destroyer
slain colleagues visit latest twist
QUETTA, Pakistan — in China-US ties
Pakistani lawyers on Tues-
day mourned colleagues slain
in a shocking suicide bomb-
ing the previous day at a hos-
pital in the southwestern city
of Quetta that killed 70 people,
mostly lawyers.
The attack, which stunned
the judicial community, also
underscored concerns that mil-
itants in Pakistan are still capa-
ble of striking in the heart of
the country’s cities and towns
— despite government claims
of dismantling various terror
networks.
The Pakistani bar associa-
tion called for lawyers to boy-
cott courts in an unusual strike
against the attack. Schools and
markets were closed in Quetta,
also in protest over the attack,
which was claimed by a break-
away faction of the Pakistani
Taliban, the Jamaat-ul-Ah-
rar militant group.
Paki-
stan deployed extra police
units outside court building.
In Islamabad, lawyers lined
up outside the Supreme Court
under tight security to offer
funeral prayers for those killed
in Quetta, the capital of Balu-
chistan province.
In Quetta, senior attor-
ney Mohammad Ashraf stood
with colleagues in an open
area outside a court building

QINGDAO, China — The
visit of the U.S. Navy guided
missile destroyer USS Benfold
to the northern Chinese port of
Qingdao this week is the lat-
est development in a long-term
effort to build trust between
the countries’ militaries amid
tensions and a rivalry for dom-
inance in Asia.
Though China resents the
highly visible presence of the
U.S. armed forces in Asia,
especially the South China
Sea, it has gradually over-
come its reluctance and shown
a willingness to engage that
the sides hope will help avoid
conlicts.
The Benfold’s visit is the
irst to China by an Amer-
ican warship since Bei-
jing responded furiously to
a Hague-based international
arbitration tribunal’s ruling
that its expansive South China
Sea maritime claims had no
basis in law. The fact the visit
went ahead appears to show
that Beijing now values the
military-to-military relation-
ship too much to allow it to
be derailed by other events as
was once the case. Qingdao is
the base of China’s northern
leet and is thus less sensitive
than ports to the south closer to
hotspots, such as Taiwan and
the South China Sea.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
A decade after California vot-
ers were promised $400 mil-
lion worth of parks in some
of the state’s poorest neigh-
borhoods, an Associated Press
review inds fewer than half of
the 126 projects that received
the money have been built, as
Democratic lawmakers push
to add another $1 billion to the
program.
State oficials say the long
wait is the result of strong over-
sight, but people waiting for the
parks see only empty lots.
In the South Los Ange-
les neighborhood of Florence,
Jennifer Schott won’t let her
kids play outdoors, nor is she
willing to make the eight-min-
ute walk through gang territory
to the nearest park.
No one told Schott, who
directs a mental health facil-
ity in the high-crime neighbor-
hood, that the state has shelled
out $5 million for the city parks
department to replace vacant
industrial buildings with 4
acres of grass, basketball
courts and a community gar-
den. Six years after the project
was approved, the structures
haven’t been touched.
“I would hope that they
would start construction on
it soon,” Schott said. “If they
have a grant, let’s do it.”
Kansas boy
sufered fatal
injury on slide
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
A Kansas waterslide billed as
the world’s tallest remained
off-limits as authorities pressed
to igure out how a state law-
maker’s 10-year-old son died
of a neck injury while riding it.
Details remained murky
about what happened Sunday
to Caleb Thomas Schwab on
the 168-foot-tall “Verruckt”
— German for “insane” —
that since its debut two years
ago has been the top draw at
Schlitterbahn Waterpark in
Kansas City, Kansas.
Kansas City, Kansas, police
issued a statement late Mon-
day afternoon saying that
Caleb suffered a fatal neck
injury around 2:30 p.m. while
he was riding the slide with
two women, neither of whom
was related to him. They suf-
fered minor facial injuries and
were treated at an area hospi-
tal, police said.
