If I hear the phrase "gold star" one more time, I'm going to lose it.

Does this phrase really piss off anyone else? I hate it! It's seriously like saying that gay or lesbian-identifying people are somehow better versions of their identities by not having had sexual experience with the opposite sex.

Insightful breakdown of Gold Dildo:

Golden Girls Porn Parody
Oh Yeah!!!!! They are going to be making a Golden Girls porn DVD. I bet all the recent Betty White stuff brought this on.

Gold plating wear-and-tear?
Does anyone know if the cold plating chips off after continued use?

Goldfrau
Just wondering if anyone has this dildo? I'm really curious about it. What's the texture like, etc. Can anyone enlighten me?

Is this a gold star or a dud?
omg how do i break it to this girl that the sex between us is just horrible with out being mean

How many gold stars do you know?
just curious how common are gold stars anyway

I definitely thought you were talking about something else at first.

Gold star can have a few meanings in American society. I thought you meant like in school.
I ask the boyfriend how to spell something, he spells it wrong I say "Wrong answer, no gold star this time"

I was about to say "I like the phrase" Then I realized you are talking about something regarding gay or lesbian-identifying people...
I never knew the term could mean that.

I don't mind the phrase because it is fine for people to be proud of being a "gold star". As long as people don' pressure or judge me for not being one.

I think it is a positive way of voicing something that people are proud of. It is not necessarily putting down people that aren't gold stars.

It sounds to me like you're reading into it too much. To me, it doesn't have anything to do with superiority or anything. It's just an identifier/flag that someone hasn't been with the opposite gender. Whether it's 'gold star' or some other term I'm guessing you'd probably feel the same way about it?

I don't mind it. It's just a term used to explain someone's experiences. Personally, I don't care what kind of star you are: gold, silver, bronze, platinum, neutron, candy, Mario power, etc. We are all stars.

I have no idea what "gold star" means in the context of the LGBT community. Can someone please explain?

A gold star is a person that's never been sexually involved with a member of the opposite sex, and has only been with same-gendered partners.

I don't particularly like the word. I think I've used it once, in one of your threads, actually. And it wasn't even to say that they are "better" but as a quick explanation so I didn't have to write out "every lesbian who has never had sex with a man". It doesn't quite have the same ring to it and it would have made my argument awkward-sounding. But I digress. Yeah, it makes other lesbians seem like they're not "lesbian" enough. I get that enough because I'm with a male partner but I don't really consider myself "bisexual" enough to BE bisexual.

I don't think I've ever heard the phrase used in this context. Maybe it's time to crawl out from under my rock!

I would have added a "I've never heard of it" option, since this is the first I hear of it.

I dont really care as long as they do not think that it makes them better than others. I think people would probably be offended however if I decided to call myself a platinum star or something because I have only been with someone of the opposite sex.

Nah, I call myself a gold star because its the common term. If platinum star became a common term, I wouldn't have a big deal with it.

I just feel like it's a weird term. Gold stars are, as someone said, seen as rewards for being the best. It really comes off to me like someone who has been with both sexes second-rate. I'm all for having a term for these experiences, I just think it's an odd term, is all.

I agree, because to me it makes it sound almost like there's something wrong with having been with people that would go against your self-identified orientation. Sexuality is fluid and there are always exceptions. There's nothing wrong with that at all!
