Nope. I am not a gold star lesbian. Not by far.

Sleeping with guys was how I convinced myself I was straight for a while.

And also, I'm still a kinsey 5, so having the odd occasional sexual or emotional attraction to guys is not something that's completely out of the question for me.

nope ... not a gold star

apparently I am a "silver star" though

(just out of curiosity, can I still be slightly "gold star" if I had to fake it that one time? )

I've never slept with a guy but I don't call my self a 'gold star'.

Its such a weird term, only having slept with women isn't something that would cross my mind to brag about.

You guys have no idea how happy this 'gold star is a ridiculous term' opinion makes me. I'm a bisexual woman and it always made me feel like a total outsider whenever my gay friends would talk about being 'pure' gay or 'gold star lesbian'. Probably kind of a silly thing to feel like an outsider about; but it still always made me wonder what the heck I'm supposed to be!

Yeah...sorry just kind of a squee moment.

Aha! This confirms what I've suspected for a while now. At first I just took the gold star thing as silly joke, like a 'congratulations you never tried to be straight!' thing. But the more you think about it the more you realise its just kind of awful and either intentionally or unintentionally designed to make people feel bad. Its not an achievement to be a 'gold star', its just your personal sexual history.

I stopped reading the link after this:

"In my experience I have come across many Lesbians who just thought they were a Lesbian."

Judgy much?
