Morphology

gaycrat = gay (semi-transparent) = gay + crat

The element '-crat' functions as a bound suffix meaning a person associated with a type of rule or influence; the overall meaning is predictable in form but the precise social/political nuance may be unfamiliar to lower-level learners.

Etymology

The word gaycrat joins gay and the ending -crat, which comes from a root meaning 'rule' or 'power' and is the same part you see in democrat. So a gaycrat is an influential person or leader in the LGBTQ+ community who works in politics or campaigns for rights.
