The New Testament continues to call homosexual relations a sin and an abomination.

But not Jesus. In fact, He never said a word on the subject. He had plenty to say on divorce, though, and that practice is promoted by the government. Go figure.

He gave the apostles the authority to speak for him.

Matthew 16:19  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The Gospels are a record of what Jesus said and did, which was usually to tell people what they did not know. The fact that homosexuality is a sin was well known among the Jews, as it was codified in the Law. He did not need to tell them it was sin; they knew that already.

God used the Apostle Paul to reiterate the matter in Scripture and place it in a New Covenant context.

I agree with you on divorce, however:

Just how many times did the subject of homosexuality come up with Jesus? How many Jews came up to Him and tried to trap Him into saying that barebacking is okay? None. What Jesus did do is endorse the Torah, which is clear in its condemnation of homosexuality.

What did Jesus say about prostitution?

He did not in scripture, but His prophets did, and you are right, He did have a lot to say about divorce. I think no fault divorce really sucks. It happened to me.
