Since many christians say that they do not hate homosexuals but homosexual acts (whatever that means)...how can you proof that jesus was straight if in the bible there is no mention of jesus performing any "straight acts"...If in the bible there is no mention and proof of his heterosexuality, jesus homosexuality may be a possibility isnt it?

It depends on your conception of Jesus as man, or Jesus as the union between God and man. Or even Jesus as completely part of the divine.
Anyhow, all three of these ideas of Jesus' role shy away from any kind of sexual activity. We're a sex-negative society with sex-negative religions - Jesus as a sexually active being would deviate from the image that the Church (as in the institution) wants to reflect. He's supposed to be 'above' earthly temptations, and if sex is Original Sin, it doesn't sound like Jesus would be all up on that. However he did hang out with prostitutes and other outcasts, so I'm very sure he was at least chilling with the homosexuals.
Although if he was a man (which is the most believable story), there's still debate today as to the nature of his relationships with women. As for men...well, you never know, but it's unlikely. If he were part of the divine in any way I think sexual expression wouldn't be part of his purpose be it heterosexual or homosexual.
I think the omission of any sexual activity isn't proof of his orientation either way, but a norm in the mixed up, crazy recording of religious history. Or any history.
Plus, he wouldn't be 'gay' in the way we know 'gay' to be. The idea of sexual orientation wasn't around until after the 19th century. Before the idea of different sexualities, there was only behavior (sodomite, etc). Jesus would have, at best, been called out for his so-called "deviant" behavior.

There are those who would argue that because we didn't have the same concept of sexual orientation as we do now, he couldn't have been gay because no one could have. Before the word and the idea for "gay" existed, no one was gay.
