Fringe religious groups are planning a protest for the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina in a few weeks. Operation Save America (OSA), a group that’s made a name for itself by opposing the LGBT community and trying to stop abortions, is leading 40 Evangelical churches in protest of Democrats at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, a 20,000-person venue. OSA refers to Democrats as the “ Party of Death ” and has said of the convention “Thousands of anarchists, agitators, fascists, ad nauseam , will be filling the streets of Charlotte looking to eat their own.” The protesters’ event is titled “Charlotte 714,” a reference to 2 Chronicles 7:14 that reads “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” US News And World Report has more details on the group’s plan during the convention: In the 40 days leading up to the convention, Charlotte714 is calling for all participants to fast, which Benham says can consist of consuming only water, or of fasting from sweets and soda as well as television, texting and emailing after 5 p.m.

Starting August 11, transgender citizens in Alaska will be able to more easily change their sex identifier on state ID cards. The Department of Motor Vehicles in Alaska will now allow residents to change the sex listed on ID cards with certification from a “licensed physician, social worker, psychologist, professional counselor, physicians assistant or certified nurse practitioner,” showing that the individual has been undergoing permanent treatment to change their sex. Previously, transgender people in Alaska had to submit proof that they had undergone certain surgeries to change their sex, but in March, the state Superior Court ruled that mandating proof of surgery was an unconstitutional invasion of privacy.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney arrived in Great Britain today for the Olympics and to expand his foreign policy experience with a three-country swing. Knowing he’d be meeting with Romney this morning, Prime Minister David Cameron prepared himself last night by hosting a reception for the LGBT community where he reaffirmed his support for marriage equality: CAMERON: I think marriage is a great institution – I think it helps people to commit, it helps people to say that they’re going to care and love for another person. It helps people to put aside their selfish interests and think of the union that they’re forming.
