Well let's say Billie Jean King kisses her girlfriend casually at a reception, she could be subject to incarceration or a fine or both. Even if there aren't kids there (I mean, the "save the children" trope is so over used), if a picture is snapped of the moment and distributed to media, there might be children who see it.

And come to think of it, this law is so vague, the photographer could be busted too.

I haven't heard that the law has been used or enforced yet, so I guess it's wait and see. But it's a stupid law, too vague and potentially dangerously misused.

:D
