The main difference between Farpoint and Shore Leave is that at Farpoint you can’t take a shortcut through the courtyard because it’s too cold to walk outside. Other than that they seem pretty similar. Farpoint has a panel discussion called Queer As Trek that I was lucky enough to be able to attend (the only deaf client here so far didn’t need any interpretation), and I suggested to the panelists they they offer it at Shore Leave as well so there’s a gay offering besides the adults-only K/S fanfic workshop.
