Gold star gays

In LGBTQ slang, a " gold star lesbian " is a lesbian who has never had sex with a man, and a " gold star gay " is a gay man who has never had sex with a woman. The terms can be joking, sincerely held identities, or stereotypes within the LGBTQ community.

"'Gold-star gay status' is a term that Andy Cohen used to describe his sexuality. He said that he’s gay, and he’s never been with a woman, so he’s not just gay — he’s gold-star.
