I have to go visit the little boys room right now -- nature calls -- but if I don't have more to say on the issue, I MUST SAY RIGHT NOW that this is the most shocking and unexpected thing I have read all week.

SUZE ORMAN?!!! Now, THAT'S out-of-the-blue!

Not really....the few times I've seen her show I've suspected it. It's not very hard to believe.

I don't find her coming out as a shock...Folks come out at the time they deem appropriate; some folks decide to share their sexuality based on a lot of reasons...some wait to announce their sexuality because of family matters; some based on their comfort level..

I guess for me, I'm very open minded, and don't find when folks share their sexual orientation as something to gasp or be floored by. All I see is a person who has a different lifestyle than me; not someone that 'suddenly' came out of the closet, so to speak.

Kudos for her having the courage to come out when she felt the time was right.

well said Vee, maybe it's a *tad* idealistic to think(this coming from such a cynic, LoL), but my question with celebs and their sexuality is, Why does it matter? Who cares, but kudos to her for having the courage to do this.

I was shocked by the coming out, yes, (never would have guessed that about a financial analyst!) but more important, that she said she was a 55-FREAKING-YEAR-OLD-VIRGIN.

I'm sorry, but did anyone not find THAT juicy tidbit just SHOCKING AS ALL THE FIRE IN HELL?!!!

It's just overdisclosure.

Some would even question whether she went too far. Whether she can maintain her career while being seen in this new sexual -- or perhaps, non-sexual -- light. Her reputation, now, may precede her. It's all just so stunning!

I don't think the shock is in her sexual preference or in her virginity. To me, the real shock is when she wins those Daytime Emmys every year for "Service Show," when people like Martha, Rachel, and those house building shows do more service work than her.

What's so rewarding about what she does and how does it relate to the 18-49 Demographic? I know she talks about how to make money, but I don't consider that deserving of an Emmy. Sorry.
