Cucumber doesn't distinguish between Given/When/Then. Just delete one of them.
On a more semantic note - I usually recommend that:
* Given and When steps be expressed (grammatically) as non-negotiable facts
* Then steps be expressed (grammatically) as expectations ("should be
at the home page")
http://www.englishpage.com/modals/should.html
"Then" steps represent the outputs of your system, which is often
related to the feature's *business value*. What you get out of a
system and it's behaviour is not a fact, it's an expectation ;-)
