I respectfully disagree, Jesus doesn’t even mention homosexuality.
Paul mentions homosexuality, but Paul is very notably not Jesus, he’s basically just a guy who rolls up after Jesus is dead and says he’s an apostle now. There’s also significant cultural context there, and his objection to sex applied to all recreational sex regardless of orientation.
The Old Testament also mentions homosexuality. I am not sufficiently educated on Hebrew culture to comment on those passages, but I do know that Christians are very explicitly not bound by Old Testament law.

If one is going to kill another person, one should have good reason, otherwise it’s murder, which the Bible also proscribes.
From what I learned and understood about the Bible, Jesus decided everyone was doing an awful job at following gods law, so he introduced the golden rule. Even with that simplification, people gave a hard time understanding. As far as I’m concerned, things like homosexuality would be cleared according to Jesus’s guideline.
