homosexualidad: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el prefijo "homo-" es válido para formar palabras que aluden a los homosexuales. [...] Aunque la posibilidad de formar palabras con este valor de "homo-" se ha rechazado en ocasiones, la vigesimotercera edición del Diccionario académico incorpora una nueva acepción para señalar que significa "homosexual". Esta definición se añade a la ya existente, que remite al sentido primitivo de "el mismo, igual" y de la que en cierto modo es una extensión, pues se refiere a personas del mismo sexo. 3, record 1, Spanish, - homosexualidad
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
