He didn't say it specifically but you can tell what his view was easily,Jesus declared that the bible is truth. (John 17:17) which means he agreed to god's view of it at Leviticus 18:22, which reads: “You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.”not to mention Jesus brought out fornication as one of the things that defiles a man(Mark 7:21-23)the Greek word for fornication is a broad term for adultery. which means It speaks of all forms of sexual relations outside lawful marriage, including homosexuality (Jude 7)which was not part of god's 'man and woman' arrangement.
so Jesus didn't specifically state against homosexuality, but theirs more than enough evidence showing his view on it.

There are several scriptures but they didn't call it gay and lesbian. They talked about unnatural sex and stated man with man and women with women Romans1:24,26, and 27. and then you go to the book of Genesis 19:1-22 telling how God destroyed Soddom and Gomorrah cause the men there wanted to have sex with angels they thought men.There are more. Jesus does not think it's ok but He did and does believe in helping the poor and being peaceful.

God's plan was seen from the beginning of creation, for 'He made them male and female.'
'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together."
Mark 10:6-9
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused.
Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes.
So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies.
Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen.
That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.
When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.

I don't think Jesus ever made an effort to list off every possible sin. If He never came across it then why would He just randomly talk about it?

He did say in Matthew 5:28
"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Why not relate it to men who look upon men as well? If we aint married then we have no business doing any such things.

God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve
Scripture
Gen. 1 & 2 - we see from the beginning that the complimentarity of the sexes reflects God's inner unity and His creative power and Fatherhood. God created man and woman to become one flesh which is consummated in the act of marital love.
Gen. 2:18 – throughout the creation story, God says “it is good” seven times. But when God pointed out that man was alone, God says “it is not good.” God then created woman. Man and woman therefore belong together by God’s design, according to His natural and supernatural law.
Gen. 2:24 – God created man and woman so that they could share communion. This communion is consummated in the marital act (which must be between a man and a woman). This communion is also a reflection of the eternal communion of the Blessed Trinity, who created man in His own image and likeness.
Gen. 19:24-28 - the Lord rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah as punishment for the sin of homosexuality. Homosexuality perverts God’s covenant with humanity.
Lev. 18:22, 29 - God commands a man never to lie with a male as with a female, or he will be cut off. This refers to supernatural death which is eternal separation from God.
Lev. 20:13 - God says that if a man lies with another man, he shall be put to death. Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered, unhealthy, and mortally sinful.
Deut. 22:5 - cross-dressing is also considered an abomination before God.
Matt. 19:6 - after referring to God's divine plan for man and woman, Jesus says a husband and wife become one flesh, which ultimately reflects God's union with humanity through the Church. Homosexual unions pervert this divine truth of God’s love for and union with the human race.
Rom. 1:26 - also, when a woman lies with another women, this is unnatural and a perversion. God wants His children to be pure and holy as He is holy.
Rom. 1:27 – Saint Paul calls the practice of homosexuality shameless, unnatural and a perversity. It is contrary to the natural law, as it eviscerates the life-giving aspect of human sexuality and reduces it to a selfish, pleasure-seeking end.
1 Cor. 6:9 - homosexuality is not part of God's plan for His kingdom. Homosexuals are called to chastity.
1 Tim. 1:10 - sodomites are called ungodly and sinners, unholy and profane, lawless and disobedient. They are called by God to chastity. It is important to note that homosexual attractions and inclinations, while dangerous, are not by themselves sinful per se. It is the acting out on homosexual attraction that is sinful. Those with homosexual desires can still live a life worthy of Christ by remaining chaste and pure as they abstain from acting out on their desires.
I know this was a little lengthy but I hope it will help. We are to treat the people in these situations with great respect and love to help them out of it because a separation from God must be a scary place to be. God Bless

I think that likely Christ did not have the need or opportunity to address it. As it is forbidden by God - you have seen that text - why would he need to revisit the subject? You can rest assured he is in agreement with the Father.

because Jesus didn't come to condemn sinners He came to save them, Ex. mary the adulteress Jesus said He without sin cast the first stone. it was already 'known' that the gay lifestyle was a sin, Ex. of this: Sodom and Gomorah. it burnt down because sexual perversions and immorality

The Bible does condemn homosexuality.
"Because of this, God gave them over to their shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and recieved in themselves the due penalty for their perversions."
Romans 1:26-28
Read your Bible man, it's right there.
