Suze Orman, who has been called a "one-woman financial advice powerhouse," took this Valentine’s Day weekend to champion gay marriage.
Saying marriage is a "privilege," Orman — who is gay — points out that married couples receive myriad financial benefits, and no one should be barred from taking advantage of that.
It is such a travesty that a few months ago Proposition 8 in California passed, Proposition 2 in Florida passed. What is that about, everybody? We are taking away a birthright, if you ask me, for people to get the most out of the money they have spent their lives working … every single one of us deserves to have the same financial benefits — whether we are gay or whether we are straight.
Orman’s fantastic show airs on CNBC on Saturday nights and on XM/Sirius radio, and always offers tons of tips for how to save and invest your money. She particularly encourages women to take control of their financial futures, something we definitely supporter.
Here’s Orman’s Valentine’s Day video:

Of course the fact that Suze Orman is a Lesbian has nothing to do with it...

our local station added Dave Ramsey last night.
I kinda liked it. He's pretty funny.
I miss havin Savage locally though!

Orman is an idiot. Anyone who follows her advice is doomed.

... married couples receive myriad financial benefits, and no one should be barred from taking advantage of that. Well then, why not extend those financial benefits to everyone, whether married or not?
Or... just take all of the benefits away -- from everyone.
Why should gays receive special benefits?

Ramsey is a great advisor.
He is a little paranoid about credit cards; I have discipline and never keep a balance. (I also travel internationally a lot, so I like to have a card other than my debit card -— actually two.)

Like Suze, I had K.D. Lang figgered out loooooong before her “official announcement”.
It’s a gift.

Oh, she’s cute enuff, but I fear the preachy know-it-all voice would send me to the clink.

Why privilege a sexual relationship? Why not let any declared couple have financial benefits? Friends, sisters, parent-child? What’s so special about the sexual aspect of a committed relationship?

Well, as an open lesbian with a partner I guess she has a vested interest.

Why not have anyone who says they are good buddies get those benefits, why stop?
