I'll put a higher-level reply in addition to commenting on the multiple people wondering what the original entry meant by "gay". In the Victorian LSJ, the entry [1] was > as Subst., κροκωτός (sc. χιτών), ὁ, saffron-coloured robe, worn by gay women, Ar.Th.138, Ec.879; as an offering in temples, IG12.386.22, 22.1514.60, 62; worn by Dionysus (or at his festivals) over the χιτών, Cratin.38, Ar.Ra.46; by effeminate men, παρθένος δ' εἶναι δοκεῖ φορῶν κροκωτούς (prob. for κρος-) Arar.4, cf. Callix.2, Duris 12 J., etc.: neut. pl. κροκωτά (sc. ἱμάτια) v.l. in Ar. Lys.44. https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BA%CF%89%CF%84%CF%8C%CF%82 https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BA%CF%89%CF%84%CF%... So someone familiar with Dionysian festivals is clear that gay was used with a sexual connotation here. And similarly for effeminate men. But note that many of the other translations don't mention the connection to Bacchus or limit it to "gay women", so one wonders if the evidence actually supports a broader meaning than that.
