...gay.

I really didn't think I could like her any more: she straightforward, she's blunt, she's into empowering people and money is simply the modality in which she works. She sneaks spirituality into all of her books in a very satisfying way. But no...she's also gay.

And people sometimes scoff at her because she is spiritual.

OK, I'm just doomed to like her.

Sweetest, please visit your local dyke bar immediately, have a drink with the butch who's tending bar and request that your gay-dar be recalibrated! (Actually, once you enter said bar, you will probably find it difficult to leave without at least one butch!)

Of course Suze Orman is teh gay.

I forgot this part of the comment:

When you do decide to take your lesbian side out for a spin, please be sure to let me know!

Your fan club awaits your debut! (I am certainly not alone... Counting the women who lust 'Brina. Running out of fingers!)

You know, I have to say that it never occured to me that someone's being gay or not might impact whether I liked them or not :)

I have an unjustifiable pro-gay bias. It's not fair, it's not nice, it's not based on anything solid. But if all I know is that someone is gay, it predisposes me to like them.

Silly, but I've seen it in myself again and again.

It's something "always rooting for the underdog". Of course, being gay is not clearly associated with being an underdog. Just because homophobia exists doesn't mean every gay person is oppressed, or is likable.

Still, here I am with this bias.

Okie dokie. I just find it an odd bias. I find people are people, and likeable or not, and am unconvinced that their orientation (or for that matter, gender, race, religion, or anthing they were born with) has anything to do with that.
