"On numerous occasions, Jesus condemned the sins of adultery (Matthew 19:18), sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9) and fornication (Matthew 15:19)."

Correct, Jesus specifically condemned fornication. The Greek word translated as fornication is "pornea". It means any kind of wrongful or improper sex. Coming from a Jew in a Jewish culture it would absolutely include homosexual conduct. By condemning pornea Jesus specifically condemned homosexual conduct.

Yup. Exactly what I was going to point out; πορνεία (porneia) includes homosexuality. Cheers
