laws differ between countries, so that's likely hard to find a general case for.
I do mean by 'calling something public', that it would adhere to a formal definition of that word in the area where it's being used.
As far as I can tell, the consideration is mostly the venue. if its on public grounds or property, or if its on a private property.
it depends on various things. venue type (private or public proprty), advertising - where are the adverts posted, in public or private platforms / view / reach, purpose of the event (commercial / promotional goals) and 'access controls'.
so in essence i dont think i am wrong - if you want to restrict access to only a certain group of people, you'd need to do it on private property, and only advertise it to that group of people and make clear its a private event at a private venue.
all in all, it's not only the 'wording' public or private, but several other factors that litterally revolve around 'the general public knowing about it and having access to it' e.g. via ticket sales, guest access to the event or otherwise.
this also says nothing about 'discrimination' ofcourse. - i'd expect there'd be resistance to 'private events on public property' - like a private club night or something, if the descrimitory factor is race, sexe, dna based or other things that can be coined as negative discrimination of groups of people. - you'd need to do it on a private venue, and ensure your advertising and access controls aligns with that.
I think as an event organizer (gonna use the word again) its weird if you don't take into account all such factors if you know you are discriminating people based on sexual preferences and DNA. its 2025 - sadly even the woke people seem asleep at the wheel!
it's not hard to figure these things out!
