Translations:Rooftop Gatherings/14/en

Consent and autonomy apply here as anywhere else. Photographs taken on rooftops often capture recognisable skylines and identifiable people, which can make them more revealing than the person taking them intends. Asking before photographing, and respecting a decline without comment, is widely regarded as standard practice in queer social settings.

| Reality=Reality Check: the most common source of difficulty at rooftop gatherings is not dramatic. It is the gradual drift from a small planned meeting into a larger, louder, longer event than the host anticipated or the building tolerates. Complaints, restricted access, or tension with neighbours frequently follow, and the host absorbs the consequences after everyone else has gone home.
