In Israel, at the time Jesus walked, homosexuality was not a big issue, so it isn’t surprising that Jesus didn’t directly address it. Besides, it is covered elsewhere in the old and new testaments, and if someone gets their values from scripture and Christianity, rather than make them up as events and desires dictate, it is impossible to not conclude that homosexuality is a sin, as are most divorces and multiple marriages, adultery, and premarital fornicating. To those we can add lusting in our hearts, something Jimmy is familiar with, and being envious of our neighbors, something most liberals are guilty of. We all have something to overcome in our Christian walks, and no one is doing homosexuals a favor by pretending they are okay with God when they aren’t. If there is anything this world needs in mega doses right now, it is truth.

Agreed. Homosexuality was so forbidden for Jewish society in that time that it would’ve been unimaginable that folks would ever advocate marriage being defined in a way that did not consist of a man and at least one woman. In fact by affirming marriage as one-man and one-woman(Matthew 19:4-6), Jesus greatly emancipated womankind by emphasizing how necessary they are to the human race. Advocating all-male or femaleless “marriage” would not have been liberating for females in that time period.
No Jesus did not address Buggery specifically but if you look at ALL of Romans 1 the Apostle Paul did.
