It had been suggested that homeosexuality must always be considered a symptom when looking for a remedy in a case

Response:

First determine what is the priority. Is Homosexuality a priority in any given case? The only attitude that counts is the patient's. Is it an issue for them or not? If it isn't then it shouldnt be an issue for the practitioner..Just because the patient is homosexual doesnt automatically mean that must be emphasised in the repertorisation.Remember the prevailing attitudes to homosexuality when the rubric was created. Examine your own attitudes to homosexuality.
(If it's an issue for the practitioner but not the patient then the practitioner cannot agree with the patient what constitutes health and therefore will be unlikely to be effective in helping them)
Also remeber that someone can get 'locked' into being either homo or hetero-sexual by peer pressure..e.g. they may have been homosexual for some time but find they also have heterosexual feelings but this is not accepted by their peers.
There are many who are not specifically at one end of the sexual spectrum, but that doesnt mean they're in the middle either.
It's a sliding scale, and can change at different times of life .What might seem true regarding someones sexuality at one time may not be true at another.
Beware of being impressed or surprised that someone changes sexual orientation after a remedy. This is only important if it is important to the patient, and only as important as it is to the patient.
Many of the issues surrounding sexuality are to do with permission.
Without the freedom to explore freely how can someone make choices?
Without freedom to make choices how can they be healthy?
You quote a case where someone changes from homo to hetero-sexuality after a remedy. Examine what your response would be if after the next remedy they changed back again.
To my mind you could put every single remedy in the rubrics pertaining to homosexuality, because any of them may be useful to any patient who also happens to be homosexual.
It is only the ISSUES , if they exist, that can be repertorised meaningfully.
