'Financial Expert' Suze Orman Is Gay?

This weekend I was watching Larry King and the guest was Suze Orman.  This is the only format that I can really handle watching Suze, as without a moderator her presentation is downright annoying.  On her CNBC show she looks right into the camera and points her finger and yells at her viewers, which gives me flashbacks of my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Hayes, and I have to change the channel as fast as I can.

Larry asked Suze a question about estate taxes and she replied, “If I die, my life partner KT would only receive 2 million dollars and anything above that would be subject to estate taxes.”  Life partner, I listened very closely and then heard Suze make reference to the life partner as “her” after which I screamed out in horror to my wife, “Suze Orman is Gay!”  I guess I should not be surprised by such things after everything I have witnessed in my 43 years on this earth, but who would have thought this about Suze Orman?

OK, she is gay and that probably makes no difference to any of us, right?  Wrong.  Celebrities that come out of the closet almost always do so with an agenda.  Suze Orman seemed to be driving at the idea that ‘gay partners’ should enjoy the same estate tax and financial benefits as married couples.  A married couple does  pay less in estate taxes than a gay couple.  First, a married individual can inherit an unlimited amount of assets upon the death of a spouse without any estate taxes.  As a result, there is a distinct advantage to legally being married when dealing with estate tax issues.  It is true, that upon the death of the second spouse, the assets are subject to estate taxes.  The married couple, however, can use the combination of two separate living trusts to shelter far more from estate taxes than the unmarried gay couple. 

Apparently, Orman agrees with this as I found this comment online:

Gay couples do not enjoy survivorship benefits from Social Security or most spousal benefits offered by employers.  This is the reason gays continue to push so hard for the concept of gay marriage or civil unions.  Suze Orman may have come out of the closet simply because she wants to just stop hiding a secret, but it is more likely that she is going to become another advocate for gay rights like Rosie O’Donnell.

As Christians, we have seen our culture slowly lose its way, we must take a stand on this issue.  Marriage is between a man and a woman and this has to be a non-negotiable part of the foundation of America’s values.  I truly believe that this is a last stand. If we lose on this I don’t see much hope for any moral foundation in the future of this country.
