{{Distinguish|Gae}}[[File:Gai.png|thumb|189x189px|The gai flag.]][[File:Gai 2.png|thumb|An alternate flag.]]'''Gai''' is defined as an orientation that is [[gay]] but in a uniquely [[non-binary]] way. It describes attraction experienced by a non-binary person that one considers to be gay or otherwise non-[[straight]], but is not towards the same gender (due to the nature of non-binary genders). This can mean several things based on the nature of one's gender and how one views their attraction. A non-binary person may consider only some of their attractions to be not-straight, or all of them to be so. They may identify as [[Toric|NBLM]], [[Trixic|NBLW]], [[Enbian|NBLNB]] or any other orientation in addition to being gai. ▼
'''Gai''', also known as '''unstrayt''', is defined as an orientation that is [[gay]] but in a uniquely [[non-binary]] way.

The term was intended to be similar in meaning to [[queer]] but specific to non-binary people and attraction. It has a similar meaning to [[diamoric]].
This may be used interchangeably with [[symmaic]] in some cases
while symmaic might only refer to attraction to other non-binary genders.
The counterpart to gai is [[strayt]].
It is unknown when the term was coined, however it has been used since early 2018.<ref>https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/175262021415/what-do-the-terms-gai-and-strayt-mean</ref>▼
