Homosexual behavior occurs among numerous animals other than humans, particularly among social animals. The term homosocial is now used to describe single-sex contexts that are not specifically sexual. The legal and social status of people who perform homosexual acts or identify as gay or lesbian varies enormously across the world and in places remains hotly contested in political and religious debate. Gay and lesbian are the most common alternatives. Lesbian, however, always denotes female homosexuality. However, as with ethnic slurs and racial slurs, the misuse of these terms can still be highly offensive; the range of acceptable use depends on the context and speaker. Etymologically, the word homosexual is a Greek and Latin hybrid with homo (often confused with the later Latin meaning of "man", as in homo sapiens) deriving from the Greek prefix homo- ("same"),.
