If the person is a citizen of the United States, respects the property and the privacy of other citizens who live around the rented property and does nothing to disturb the businesses around the rented public property and returns it in the same shape as when they first rented it fine....
Of course the above automatically leaves out the OWS kiddies...
If public property is available for use to the public to rent, should any citizen be allowed to rent the property?
I'd say yes. As long as they agree to the rules and regulations that govern the public space. If they decline to follow the rules, then their application to rent the public place should likewise be declined.
There have been at least two cases, one in Mississippi and one in Texas, where same sex couples were denied the use of public property for commitment ceremonies. Both were areas that were regularly rented out to people or groups for many different types of events including reunions, birthday parties, weddings etc.
Both were denied because same sex marriage is not allowed in those states, even though they were not having a legal marriage ceremony, but a commitment ceremony.
Do you think it was right for these couples to be denied use of public space?

havent read the 2nd one yet
but as to the 1st
not truely PUBLIC property, but STATE property, and the STATE LAW prohibits it use in a ILLEGAL manner.....would be the same if a poligamy trio wanted to use it
as to the second....very simular
your initial question was """Should any citizen be allowed to use public property?"""
the answer is within LEGAL grounds....ie you are not going to use a county areana for a BDSM expo, if it goes against the local law

What were they doing that was illegal? Commitment ceremonies are not illegal.
As for a polygamous trio, it would be the same. They are not having a legally binding, state recognized marriage, but a ceremony of commitment. There is no law against that.

if the STATE says the same sex marriage is ILLEGAL (which I disagree with) then having a 'ceremony' for such purpose would be therefore ILLEGAL on that state property
there is a simple solution...say screw them..have it somewhere else..give someone else you money
I am not going to go anywhere I am not wanted...and I am not going to force my views on them....screw them if they cant adapt to society
lots of people use our public parks not necessarily citizens.
the pot farms in our public parks are manned by large staffs of illegals. the reason that the rangers dont know they are there is bek they are paid to not know.
