Nearly 1 in 10 US adults identifies as LGBTQ+, survey finds

(NYTimes)— Nearly 1 in 10 adults in the United States identifies as LGBTQ+, according to a large analysis from Gallup released Thursday — almost triple the share since Gallup began counting in 2012 and up by two-thirds since 2020. The increases have been driven by young people and by bisexual women. Nearly one-quarter of adults in Generation Z, defined by Gallup as those 18 to 27, identify as LGBTQ+, according to the analysis, which included 14,000 adults across all of Gallup’s telephone surveys last year. More than half of these LGBTQ+ young adults identify as bisexual.

Trump administration a bruptly clears out migrants it sent to Guantánamo

(NYTimes) —The Trump administration on Thursday transferred all of the Venezuelan migrants it had brought to the U.S. military base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, suddenly emptying a detention operation that it had just as abruptly started this month. Two passenger planes operated by a charter aircraft company shuttled most of the migrants to an airfield in Honduras. They were to then be put aboard a Venezuelan plane for repatriation. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department, said 177 migrants had been transferred to Venezuelan custody, and one had been brought back to an immigration facility in the United States.

Dairy workers may have passed bird flu to pet cats, CDC study suggests

(NYTimes)—Two dairy workers in Michigan may have transmitted bird flu to their pet cats in May, suggests a new study published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In one household, infected cats may also have passed the virus to other people in the home, but limited evidence makes it difficult to ascertain the possibility. The new paper still leaves major questions unanswered, including how the cats first became infected and whether farmworkers spread the virus to the cats and to other people in the household, experts said.

US objects to calling Russia ‘aggressor’ in G7 statement on invasion

(NYTimes) —The United States is opposing calling Russia the aggressor in the war with Ukraine in a Group of 7 statement being drafted to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, three senior officials from countries involved said Thursday. The American objections come after President Donald Trump this week blamed Ukraine for starting the war, which in fact began with Russia’s attack on Ukraine. One senior official from a G7 country said that Canada had circulated the first draft of the statement to the other six member countries. That version, the official said, retained the pro-Ukraine tone the group of allies adopted after the full-scale invasion of the country in February 2022.
