Gai and Strayt

"Gai" was coined by a person who goes by the username "aristothecat". "Strayt" was coined by a person who goes by the username "Mercuryretrograde". Gai means "gay, but in the non-binary way" for people who identify as non-binary. It is pronounced "Gay". Strayt means "straight, but in the non-binary way" for people who identify as non-binary. It is pronounced "straight".

Gai and Strayt are one of the two examples of a landslide of terminology that has appeared within the past few years of the LGBTQIA community. The non-binary community has been expanding rapidly, using social media websites like Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook to spread awareness about different terminology and queer theory ideas.

Since non-binary is now such a widely accepted term in both the civilian and professional community, it makes sense that new terminology stemming from said identity has been coined. People want to think that language is static and non-changing, when this couldn't be further from the truth. Language, regardless if you've studied it at the collegiate or not, is in a state of constant flux.

Will some of the new terminology be forgotten within the pages of the internet? More than likely. However, the best attitude to approach this with is "just go with the flow". Depending on how you look at it, fortunately (or unfortunately) there has been numerous terms (espicially within the LGBTQIA community) lost to the pages of history.
