*(1) factually incorrect; this ''is not'' a definition of the word, "homo"; Gr. "homo" simply means "same".

:::Nope, that's wrong. I don't know Greek, but in English, the American Heritage Dictionary (online) gives three entries for "homo."
::::The ''first entry'' for [http://www.bartleby.com/61/56/H0255600.html homo] is "Noun: A member of the genus Homo, which includes the extinct and extant species of humans."
::::The [[http://www.bartleby.com/61/57/H0255700.html second entry]] is "''Offensive Slang'' Used as a disparaging term for a gay man or lesbian."
::::The entry for the ''prefix'' (not word) [http://www.bartleby.com/61/58/H0255800.html homo-] is, indeed, "same."
::::I'd like to make a request: due diligence really requires checking a dictionary before saying what a word "means," if it's an important element of a debate. (The dictionary is ''prima facie'' correct. If the dictionary is wrong, fine, but in that case what the dictionary says and then explain why it's wrong.)

*(2) this misuse of the term appears to be a end run around the various [[evolution]] amd [[homosexuality]] articles

*'''Keep.''' Rewrite if necessary to include whichever dictionary meanings are relevant. Edit if necessary to attain whatever sort of balance of viewpoints Conservapedia deems appropriate. Protect if (and only if) necessary to prevent abuse. It may or may not have been created in bad faith, but it's a legitimate entry. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 18:11, 12 May 2007 (EDT)
