The Supreme Court upheld a California law banning gay conversion therapy. So why is it still happening in the state? Also, German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. She brought up the detention of gay men in Chechnya, where more than 100 men have been rounded up and tortured.
