MOGAI (Marginalized Orientations Gender Alignments and Intersex) or MOGII (Marginalized Orientations Gender Identities and Intersex) is a proposed acronym that includes everyone whose sexuality or gender deviates from the "standard" of heterosexual, perioriented, cisgender, dyadic. The term is synonymous with LGBT, and was designed to be a simpler version of it. Since MOGAI does not list out all the identities included, it is inclusive of all lesser known identities, and does not have to add extra letters as is commonly seen with the LGBT acronym.

MOGAI is not as widely used as LGBT or its variants, such as GSRM (Gender, sexual and romantic minorities). MOGAI is most commonly seen online when talking about lesser known identities. This is due to controversy over the usefulness of hyper-focusing on one's identity, even though it is useful for many LGBT individuals who cannot find names for who they are.
