'''Gai''' can be defined as attraction that is [[gay]] but in a uniquely [[non-binary]] way. It is experienced by a non-binary person that is not [[straight]], but also not to the same gender. This can mean several things based on the nature of one's gender and how they view 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 whilst also identifying their attraction as gai. ▼

'''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), unlike [[symmaic]] or [[simulsexual]].<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220127042210/https://gai-strayt-alliance.tumblr.com/post/175212373813/what-do-the-terms-gai-and-strayt-mean}}</ref>

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 [[demiboy]]s can identify as gai if they feel that attraction is non-straight. A gai person can have any [[gender alignment]], and may be attracted to any genders or gender alignments, so long as one considers that attraction to be non-straight.
The gai flag was designed by Tumblr user Orbisian-prinxess some time around December 24, 2017<ref>https://ask-pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/168906200109/opalescentorbisian-i-designed-a-gai-pride-flag#notes</ref>. Orange is for [[Solarian|solarians]], 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, purple is for [[Lunarian|lunarians]].▼
The counterpart to gai is [[strayt]].
