A lesbian who's never slept with a man — the 'gold star' being the gag-trophy for it. Sometimes a proud self-tag, sometimes a punchline, and increasingly side-eyed: critics say it polices who counts as a 'real' lesbian and quietly knocks bisexual women and anyone with a different history.
“She announced she's a gold star like it was a medal, and half the table rolled their eyes.”
