'Homo' means 'of the same'. Therefore,
Homo-sexual, means 'attracted to someone of the same sex'. Typically, this term is used to describe a male being attracted to another male. BUT, this term may also be used to describe a female being attracted to another female; this type of
attraction can also be reffered to as Lesbian. A different word that is used to describe
homosexuality is 'gay'.
