No. I believe it's a possibility that it should be curbed. I don't believe that anyone's disproven it. Honestly, I lean toward your position. That's my intuition.

Kleptomania is something that should be treated, because the behavior that it can lead to is immoral.
Homosexuality might fit in the same category. It depends on whether the behavior that it can lead to is immoral. If you have some method of demonstrating that it's morally okey-dokey, then the analogy will be defeated.
