California and Colorado have affirmative consent laws (the only two I’m aware of). Other states are presenting similar bills. What is the difference between “no means no” and affirmative consent?

Yes means Yes and No means No in both cases. In affirmative consent, anything that isn’t Yes or No means No. In “No means No”, anything that isn’t a Yes or No is not explicitly defined.
