| Message | We support HOWEVER- this should not extend to hand holding or short kisses- a peck on the cheek, or a lgiht kiss on the lips (greeting or "good bye" kiss). Some policement might overinterpert this law, so we feel those exceptions should be written. |

| Message | It says "sexually explicit". I'm not sure it is even possible to call a kiss explicit, even if they're wall-banging/making out. There's gotta be hands up shirts or down pants to be "explicit," but I suppose a cop in a really really bad mood (or one who really needs to get laid) could say that ^.^ so yeah, put it in there just to keep the jerks away. |

| Message | The CP and FP's concerns would be unfounded in an even stricter law. <|I'd like to avoid listing activities, for obvious reasons, but assume the details of the law lists appropriate and inappropriate activities|> |
