Raise a glass for workplace diversity

It's difficult being different in the workplace. Maybe you love Pearl Jam and your colleagues think Pearl Jam blows. Or they laugh at your hybrid while they're rolling in leased Hummers. Out & Equal Workplace Advocates, though, battle barriers of another sort--those between lesbians and gays and their co-workers. Support Out & Equal's mission during a wine-tasting fund-raiser at Su Vino Winery, 120 S. Main St., Grapevine, 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Call 817-424-0123.
Thu., Sept. 4, 7-9 p.m., 2008
