Playing The Married Card 

The act where one individual who has recently got married (usually the male) automatically thinks he is better than his single or unattached friends for no apparent reason other than his own false sense of confidence. He often shows this behavior by talking down to or belittling his friends while at the same time his friends are quickly becoming distant from him for obvious reasons. This act of selfish over confidence usually results in the loss of the friendship or at the very least a situation where the friend loses all respect for the newly married individual. The married man is usually passed off as a joke.

Repeated infractions of this attitude will result in the individual losing the majority of his friends and eventually the respect of his wife. Ultimately this could lead to divorce and a very sad existence thereafter.

Person 1: Did you hear that Tom recently got married?

Person 2: Yeah, I heard & I really don't care.

Person 1: Why is that?

Person 2: Well the fool was very timid before, now he thinks he's better than all of us. He called me up the other day and tried to act superior like being married made him a god.

Person 1: Shit, no way. What a loser. I guess he's Playing The Married Card.

Playing the gay card 

Similar to playing the black card, playing the woman card, playing the disabled card, et cetera.
When someone exploits positive discrimination to get their way, and points to a personal trait of theres as a fault which somehow justifies their actions or inability to do something they'd ordinarily be expected to do.
Also used to guilt trip people into taking back something they've said on the grounds of them being insensitive.

Usually just enforces negative stereotypes and is extremely detrimental to the cases of most gay people simply wanting to be treated like normal human beings.

"Muuumm, I can't take the garbage out - I'm gay, remember?"
"Oh, sorry son. I'll do it. Thanks for playing the gay card! I nearly forgot that I'm supposed to treat you like an imbecile for something totally irrelivant to your physical and mental capacity."

"What the fuck are you on about, boy?"
"That really hurts my feelings. I have special needs! It's not easy growing up gay, you know?"
"Erh, don't play the gay card you stupid brat."

"What the hell did you do that for? You just killed 40,000 people!"
"I'm gay! How could I know any better? It's your fault, you straight people have made me unknowledgable through your discrimination."

playing the gay card 

Entertainers in the public eye, who increasly advertise their particular sexual orientation in public, the more popular they become, are "Playing the gay card."

John Barrymore, who formally was not widely known as a homosexual now uses many opportunities to advertise the fact. He is often "playing the gay card."
Such people and there are many, must have previously believed that their sexual orientation may have been a hinderance in their careers. In reality, it hardly makes any difference to the general public who aren't that bothered. But continual reference to it gets boring.

Playing the A Card 

Making reference to you or your child's autism diagnosis (as a form of disability) in a conversation with a service provider (or customer service representative) to lend greater urgency or import to your request, complaint or request for policy exception. Derived from similar term "Playing he Race Card", an idiomatic phrase that refers to exploitation of either racist or anti-racist attitudes by accusing others of racism.

I can't believe I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to pick up an item at Best Buy that was supposedly ready yesterday. After 10 minutes my son had a meltdown from the sensory overload of spending so much time in the bright, loud store.

You could see employees standing around doing nothing while I waited in line. When the manager working the desk made a comment that 'someone was a little cranky' (instead of apologizing for the inappropriate wait), I almost lost it. I'm still pretty angry but at least I got a $50 gift card after I complained to corporate, Playing the A Card.
