Proposed Law Encroaches on Personal Freedoms
 

It is my personal belief that establishments (gentleman's clubs, etc) should be monitored closely to ensure that they are practicing legal business. I do NOT believe that the ABC has any right nor should they be given the right, nor jurisdiction, to dictate to me.... or any other adult person of legal age what to wear and how to act.

Particularly not for an establishment in which my hard earned dollar is paying for. If the club, bar, or retail place in question would like to enforce rules about proper conduct and dress, than those rules should be discussed, voted on, and enforced by those companies and the public made aware of such changes. Plenty of clubs enforce strict dress codes and do a superb job of maintaining the peace should any problems arise.

In addition, where my significant other chooses to touch me (as long as it is not offending others) is of no concern to the ABC and frankly, to the Commonwealth. As a tax payer and registered voter, I object these "new" laws which seek only to encroach and take away mine (and many others) freedoms.
