Morphology

Homocrat = homo + crat (semi-transparent) = homo + crat

Formed from productive combining elements 'homo-' and '-crat' so the general idea (a political actor associated with LGBTQ+ issues) is inferable, but '-crat' as 'politician/advocate' is less transparent and the coinage is nonstandard.

Etymology

Homocrat comes from the parts homo- and -crat, where homo- points to 'homosexual' or 'same' and -crat is like in Democrat, meaning 'rule' or a political person. So a Homocrat is a politician who supports LGBTQ+ rights.
