"Suze Orman Dedicates Episode of Her Show to Marriage Equality - Watch"

Financial wizard Suze Orman is dedicating Saturday’s episode of The Suze Orman Show to discussing marriage equality in time to coincide with New York and San Francisco Pride celebrations.

In a preview for the sobering episode Orman says, “Many of you out there have the ability to get married, have the ability to really share in what that feels like, emotionally as well as financially speaking. But here I sit in front of you, a 61-year-old woman, who has been gay my entire life, who has been in a committed relationship for the past 12 years, and I will die in this relationship a woman who pays more taxes than most, that is a contributing member to the economy in more ways than most, yet, I am not treated equally.”

Watch Orman in the clip below and be sure to tune in to the episode Saturday at 9 p.m. on CNBC.

2. It was a really good show

she did a fantastic job of laying out why denying marriage to same sex couples is a terrible privation of rights. I'm glad she made such a strong statement. I'm guessing quite a few folks might have though: "hm, interested in finance, always talking personal responsibility, etc.=must be a righty". Well, she seemed to set that straight, I thought!

5. I have always assumed she was a conservative fiscally.

being in favor of gay marriage doesn't make you an economic liberal.

3. Thankful to her and to the financial group here at DU for steering me away from a financial scam

My husband's family left money to him & 2 siblings and the one brother had an annuity salesman in charge of the estate -- he managed to sell a very high-priced annuity (the materials they send are VERY VERY difficult to figure out) to 2 of the brothers but DU advice & others like Suze Orman made me get involved and put my foot down. So glad I did!

Hey baby boomers please watch this and do further research if you find yourself being "scared" into an annuity by an insurance salesman using the "Financial Advisor" title.

4. Thanks for this. Most Annuities are must insurance company gimmicks

Annuities take in money from unsuspecting people and promise about 2.5=4% payoff, after holding your money for a few years, then they pay off, all the while they have been loaning your money out to credit card companies, car loans, etc, at 8% to 28%...

Annuities, a bad way to go, unless you inherited them from someone else and have no control.
