Homo being the short for Homonculus. > "homo" could also be short for homo-sapiens, homogeneous, and homogenized, among others. The fact that you automatically apply it to homosexuals in a defamatory way says a lot about you as a person. Perhaps, but to everyone who has lived in this world for more than 10 min, homo is short for homosexual. > "people are dying" was meant to make you understand that people, like Matthew Shephard, are dying because of anti-gay sentiment. In case you're not caught up on fairly current events, Matthew Shephard was a homosexual that was beaten and left for dead in the middle of nowhere. Matthew Shephard wasn't killed my anti-gay sentiment, he was killed by murderers. Everyone I know who thinks homosexuality is wrong, also thinks murder is wrong.
