To that you have a point. The 'geno' of genocide is supposed to specifically mean a biologically distinct group. If there's a more apt word for a cultural group then I should be using that, but alas I too am falling for the manipulation of language.
Considering the fact that you can often pick a gay/dyke out of a lineup just based on pure phenotype, they probably could be called a biologically distinct group. Especially if you buy into their "its genetic!" justification for being gay.
Its just that no government or scientist wants to get murdered for acknowledging these things.
