Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'gay' (people who are attracted to same-sex partners) modifies 'rights' (legal or moral entitlements), so 'gay rights' plainly denotes rights for gay people. This adjective+noun pattern is a common, cross-linguistic construction and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Gay rights grew from campaigns in the 20th century when people who were 'gay' began to ask for the same 'rights' as everyone else. Activists used the short phrase gay rights to mean fair treatment and legal protection, so today it refers to those demands for LGBTQ+ people.
