Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gold star gay
Nominator's assessment of this article is essentially correct — this is a  of a term which does ''not'' constitute a |defining characteristic of its possessors, referenced only to some interview quotes supporting unencyclopedic gossip about people's sex lives. Yeah, it's a thing some of my fellow gays do say about themselves, but that doesn't make it a ''notable'' fact about who and what they are: ''nobody'' is ''actually'' going around handing out gold stars or taking away people's gay cards, or assigning or taking away status in the community, on this basis. Gold star lesbian, which isn't much more than a dictionary definition either but at least avoids the tabloidy stuff about individual lesbians' sex lives, should probably also be listed for deletion alongside this. These are not topics that need their own standalone articles — neither one of them needs anything more than one sentence within the main articles on gay or lesbian themselves
