Is a priesthood that only allows one sex homo- sexual?

Homo- as a prefix means same. A friend of mine brought up the point that since the Roman Catholic church does not tolerate women in the priesthood and only accepts males, the Roman Catholic priesthood is homo- sexual, homosexual, since they are all of the same sex. He is an English major. Is this definition correct? Btw, here it does not mean sexual attraction in the form of intercourse, only sexual attraction into who is allowed into the group.
 
You're intentionally misinterpreting the uses of the word "homo". In this case it would be mono-sexual (single-sex). And actually, the use of homo in homosexual is from the Latin "homo" meaning man, not same.
