'''MOGAI''' (Marginalized Orientations Gender Alignments and [[Intersex]]), '''IMOGA''' (Intersex, Marginalized Orientations and Gender Alignments) or '''MOGII''' (Marginalized Orientations Gender Identities and Intersex) is a proposed acronym that includes everyone whose sexuality or gender deviates from the "standard" of [[Straight|heterosexual]], [[perioriented]], [[cisgender]], [[dyadic]] and other [[conformant]] identities. The term is synonymous with [[LGBTA+|LGBT]], and was designed to be a simpler version of it.

MOGAI (Marginalized Orientations Gender Alignments and Intersex), IMOGA (Intersex, Marginalized Orientations and Gender Alignments) 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 and other conformant identities. 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. MOGAI is most commonly seen online when talking about lesser known identities that are commonly oppressed even within the LGBTQ+ community. This is due to controversy over the usefulness of hyper-focusing on one's identity, even though it is useful for many LGBTQ+ individuals who cannot find names for who they are.
