If lesbians referred to exclusively homosexual women could someone explain to me why "gold star lesbian" was a thing?https://twitter.com/eattheextant/status/1276609737786822657 …

I always thought one was, like, about sexual preference and the other was about experience. Like someone might identify as a Lesbian as in they're only attracted to women but still had been with guys in the past but Gold-Star meant never having been with a guy.
I don't think so? Non-gold-star lesbians were women who were either already in or seeking a lifelong relationship with a woman, and if single exclusively dated women. Having once felt attracted to a man or men they'd had sex with at the time was fine.

Right but then Gold Star lesbians were women who'd never been with a man at all. That was the distinction I thought but that's based on a half remembered conversation on an episode of The Real L Word my girlfriend was watching.
