'''Gai''', also known as '''unstrayt''', is 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]] ([[unstraight]]), but is not necessarily towards the "same" gender (due to the nature of non-binary genders).<ref>[https://gai-strayt-alliance.tumblr.com/post/175212373813/what-do-the-terms-gai-and-strayt-mean The meaning of gai and strayt]</ref>
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 they may consider 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.

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]]. Gai also does ''not'' have to mean "x-aligned" attracted to "x-aligned". For example, a demigirl who is attracted to men and demiboys can identify as gai if they feel that attraction is non-straight. A gai person can have any [[Gender Alignment|gender alignment]], and may be attracted to any genders or gender alignments, so long as one considers that attraction to be non-straight.

It is unknown when the term was coined. Its earliest use related to this definition was by Tumblr user opalescentorbisian, who also created the gai flag, on December 24, 2017.<ref>[https://
The use of orange in the flag is for [[Solarian|solarians]] while yellow is for non-binary people in general, green is for [[Stellarian|stellarians]], blue is for [[Pluralian|multi-attracted]] non-binary people who feel gai towards more than one gender, and purple is for [[Lunarian|lunarians]].
