If you want to claim that He never addressed same-sex marriage, then you must also acknowledge that homeosexuality was recognized by the Jewish community, and even the Gentile community for that matter, as depraved and not even a raving lunatic of the time would have suggested publicly that the concept of same-sex marriage was even thinkable.

That said, Jesus did say "... for this cause, a MAN shall leave his father and mother and cling to his WIFE, and the two shall become one flesh. Let therefore no man divide what God has joined together..." So, without specifically addressing the inconceivable concept of same-sex marriage, Jesus affirmed that marriage is between one man and one woman.

Probably not inconceivable to God, though.

Besides, there was plenty of homosexual behavior in the ancient world. They don't call ir "Greek love" for no good reason.
