I can't believe that this story has gotten so little play in the mainstream media. It has been bantering around on several forums since before the weekend, but I haven't seen much of anything until today.  Perhaps celebrities and pseudo-celebrities coming out isn't such big news any longer. Given the vitriolic anti-homosexual tirades that have been media fodder as of late, I would think this would rate at least an editorial mention. 

I hope at some point she'll speak as to why she made the decision to come out now.  I'm curious if she might have been on the verge of being outed and chose to trump someone's hand by outing herself.  I am also very anxious to see how her followers react as well as how her competitors respond, particularly her more right-wing counterparts, such as Dave Ramsey.

I enjoy Suzie but I never really listened to her advice because I knew that it did not apply to me when she was talking about marriage. It's almost comforting to know that she is in the same boat. I do love everything else she says though.  It’s amazing to me how people can accumulate so much debt.  She likes to give them a strong dose of reality.  =)  She has actually taught me a lot about money, and I never really thought about her message being spiritual, just pleasant.  Ha ha  “people first, than money, than things”

I'm a fan of Suze.  She should write a book about joint finances for gay couples.  How perfect would that be!

Interesting story, to say the least.  For the record, saying someone grew up on Chicago's South Side as a way to prove how badly they started out is not a good look.  I was born and raised on the Southside and there are plenty of wealthy people there.  Don't believe the hype.

"I'm still a 55-year-old virgin." ... WTF?

What an asinine statement.

There's a popular nickname for it called being a Gold Star. I think that may have been what she was attempting to reference without using/describing the nickname.

I don't believe it was meant as a negation of sex with women so much as a poorly framed joke.

I'm sure the woman she has been sleeping with for 7 years was delighted to know that she actually has no sex life and has been enjoying a life of celibacy for almost a decade now. How exciting for her.

Suze...seriously. Kathy is probably pissed. What does "I'm in a relationship with life" mean? Is that what "virgins" are calling it these days? If Suze Orman is a virgin...what does that make the lesbians who aren't have sex? Super virgins?

last week and they were talking about it. I didn't get that she'd JUST come out. I thought I was just the last to know, per usual. I doubt it'll affect her career much. It seems a snoozer to mainstream media, which is as it should be. But if she could use it to crusade for marriage equality, that'd be great. In the meantime, they should move here to Massachusetts. Not that it helps on the federal front.

Psshaw.  You're thinking waaaay too hard about a stupid sound bite.  It was meant as a joke, and, honestly, was a little too TMI for me.  Don't need to know about her sexual history.

I'm not a fan of advice types other than Dan Savage, so I'm not going to comment on her that much professionally.  Just going to say, "Yay for you.  It's good that you came out, and yada yada, courageous public figure, yada."  (Though, in all likelihood, my inner cynic said that KT made her come out, since it's probably not financially the best, so I doubt it was her own idea.)

God's Wrath Against Mankind

 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

 26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

 28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
