We have zoning laws and HOA’s, but there comes a point when you have to ask yourself, am I really the owner of private property? When I have to notify/ask permission to build a shed, etc…. it tends to invert the very notion of PP. Whose house is it? Who’s paying the bills?
Basic zoning rules should be decided by the people (not sure if picking a mayor or council member plays into that, but I would think so). People will typically frown on stuff that negatively affects their property values anyway.
Most of us don't want to live in a shithole neighborhood and so we, as a community, decide what can be displayed and what cannot. If a neighborhood's HOA says no flags can be flown (for example) then one should either go along with the rule or live somewhere else. It's not unreasonable.

Filming sex acts in a senate room. Obviously. 2. Would I be as personally disgusted and appalled? No. I wouldn’t. Questions like that are what happens when you equate behaviors and cultures. No, not everything is the same or has equal value. Sorry. This is grotesque.
In both cases (one hypothetical) the people should be fired immediately. One case is just an abomination and a big effff you to America. The other would be the government version of the mile high club. Sorry. Not the same. Not even close
Are we sure pitch isn't the "unknow man"?

Should it be OK for someone to put up outdoor TV screens in their front yard showing dudes engaging in anal sex?
If people form a community, can they have the ability to establish rules on what can be displayed to the public on their own property?
Public indecency means something sexual/indecent can be easily seen by the public. It doesn’t matter if it is on private property. You can’t have sex on your front lawn, even though it is your property.
Who gets to decide what is "indecent"? You "MAGA", "Tucker Carlson" types are out of control! Free speech is free speech. The state legislatures in every state. Public freaking will get you arrested, it’s not a free speech issue.

What if it happened in the US Senate hearing room? Because that just happened yesterday. Literally.
Uh, yeah, that would be public indecency…..

So you're ok with the people of a state setting ordinances but not people in counties and cities?

Maybe I misunderstood your earlier comment.
