...Homo may also refer to:

...

  • ?μο-, Greek prefix meaning "the same", opposite of "hetero-" (Greek ?τερο- )...

Heck, if you break the word down homo+sexual literally it simply says man sexual .... no inference to being gay at all. ... 

 There you go. In this context it has nothing to do with the word "man." It means "the same."

Exactly why I said the word has been given a perceived meaning "after" I posted all the references.  Thanks for pointing out the obvious though .... now at least others don't have to guess. 

On a side note Greek/Latin prefixes are used for science, medicine, and literature, not to personally degrade people.
