Jesus did say several relevant things about homosexuality:

Most importantly, in Matthew 19 Jesus is engaged by Pharisees about the matter of marriage. Therein he states, "God created them male and female and for this reason a man shall leave his parents and the two shall become one flesh."

This description of marriage referencing earlier biblical material found in Genesis affirms the unique purpose of sexual difference the capacity to enter into a union which includes sexual experiences. The cause of sexuality according to Jesus is the differences between men and women. Jesus certainly could have inserted his innovative view that men and men or women and women could also be married. The failure to clarify this point indicates his affirmation of exclusive sexual view.

Moreover, on at least three different occasions Jesus affirms the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. This incident was clearly related to sexual indiscretions involving same sex sexuality. Jesus also condemns adultery which includes same sex sexual relations.

The lack of the English word "lesbian" is a rather silly expectation from a rhetorical standpoint. It is a rather recent psychological innovation (or step backward) to believe that a manner of sexual activity consitutes an identity. The Bible also says nothing about heterosexuals. In fact, the term heterosexual did not exist until the 19th century. The Bible is clinical in its description of how sexual activity must be limited to a man and a woman. It actually amazingly clear. It is our recent innovations in psychobabble which have sought to muddy the ethical waters.
