Gold star: A woman or man who has never had sex with someone of the opposite gender.

I'm not asking if you have a problem with people who FIT this category, but if the uses THIS specific term for it worries you and why.

The way I understand it it's playing off of the "gold stars" one make get on a flawless school paper. Implying some kind of "perfect record" for someone who has only ever had same sex relations.

I hate that term more than anything in the fucking world.

I used to be a 'gold star' bisexual. I then got curious about men and just fucked a guy. And if any hoity toity bitch gives a shit they can go fuck themselves.

I dislike the term only for the fact that it means that anyone who isn't a gold star is something like a "tarnished star" - which isn't accurate. I respect those who choose not to have sex with others, but I really am against the idea that having (or not having!) sex makes someone better than another.

This. Even the explanation doesn't make sense.

I'm not fond of this term.

I have no problem with people who have had exclusively homosexual experiences, and I see no harm if they want to tell others about that part of their history.

However, the term "gold star" is synonymous with an award or a prize. Calling yourself a "gold star" tells me that you think you are somehow better or "gayer than thou" because you've never fucked someone of the opposite sex. And I agree with other posters that it implies that there is something wrong with queers who have had experiences with the opposite sex, that they are somehow less than or flawed in some way.

Yeah I've definitely never heard this term, but I don't really get it. It seems to some how put strictly gay people on some kind of pedestal. I'm just generally confused and don't feel like it even needs to be a terms that exists.

I've heard it twice before this.

To me, it seems a bit bi-phobic. Bisexuals probably have the least acceptance, because they're viewed as gay by the heterosexual community, but they're also viewed unfavorably in the homosexual community. Terms like this perpetuate a belief that it's ideal to be attracted to only one sex.

Hmmm... yea that was my first impression as well. If that's the meaning behind it, it's bogus IMO

Seems a bit juvenile and weird to me...but some people like keeping score guess. I a certainly glad I "lost" my gold star (?) cause I know what I like now and it was an experience that was very enjoyable.

Seems sort of self defeating...then again I am all for the 'try it and see if you like it' approach. I have no problem with a defnite attaction to one gender and a lack of desire to have sex with the other gender but waving it around like a flag makes me wonder who the person is trying to impress, themselves or others. To me it's like someone wandering up to me and telling me they don't like chocolate but have never tried it...I can understand not having the desire to try it but then how, exactly, does that make you better than the millions of us who LOVE (or just like) chocolate?

@Kayla: I agree. I still encounter women who question my "gayness" because I was once married to a man, and had a number of hetero relationships before discovering that I was gay. They think it's more likely that I'll "go back" to men. Personally, I think it's less likely for me than for someone who's never tried hetero sex -- after all, I know what both sides are like, and have far more information on which to base my decision.
