Their interpretation or understanding of the origins and how to "cure" such urges are not necessarily of God and may primarily be a reflection of contemporary academic literature.
Just trying to understand your position.

You agree that homosexuality is not a result of choice, correct?

You agree that homosexuality may well be a result of one of the many involuntary brain functions that we can't completely control, correct?

You accept the church's position that homosexual relationships are not of God, right?

You cannot argue that there are any proven methods or "curing" homosexuality, right?

So, you would agree that the only course of action acceptable before God by a homosexual is to live a life of celibacy, with no hope for entering into an intimate relationship with another human being while in this life?
