Same for “gold star gays”. Im one myself and it’s more of a joke for me. I also clearly dont put any weight on it cause my bf had two pregnancy scares before he came to terms with his sexuality.

I do believe that we should tell young gays and lesbians that you don't need to have sex with the opposite sex to know you're a homosexual, and be positive towards goldstars, but majority of the time, it's only taken seriously online. I've seen people say silverstar lesbians aren't real lesbians, but that's on tumblr and other places.

I might be wrong, but I think I'm right about this, a gold star lesbian or gay man has never had sex with the opposite sex. It's a self-deprecating joke that references the gold star stickers little children are given at school when they do well.

A silver star would presumably be a lesbian who's had sex with a man once. I don't think it's slang so much as a play on words.

Yeah it's mainly a joke like "You've never had sex with a man? Here's a gold star for you!"
