Words have different definitions or meaning depending the root of the word used. Homo is a good example. Homo with the Latin root means "man", but with the Greek root means "same". Homophone, same sound. Homo sapiens, wise man.

So in this context, homosexual would be same sexual. I mean, man sexual could make sense but then it could be used to describe straight women as well as gay/bi men (and others).

ergo, no men involved with the definition as it uses the Greek root not the Latin one.

Exactly. Look at the definition of "homo" in a dictionary and there it will tell you the definition using the Latin root and the Greek root. It's also important to note that "homo" means "man" as in "human being" and not man as "male human", so if it was with the Greek root it would be "same human being", which makes no sense in the context of the word homosexual.

I was under the impression with regards to the word homosexual that homo came from the greek word, while sexual came from the latin word sexualis. Hence the meaning, same sexuality, which could easily denote a sexual attraction to ones own genre.
