What is the origin and meaning of the phrase "gold star"?
In LGBTQ slang, a gold star gay or lesbian is a person who has never had heterosexual sexual intercourse. The term is generally used informally and often humorously within the community. While it can be a point of pride for some, it is typically intended as a lighthearted label rather than a formal identity.
Examples
