I'm not talking about Paul or any other apostles or any one else's statements in the Bible, just words ascribed to or quoted from Jesus

Genesis 19
Lot entertains holy men. The men of Sodom seek to abuse Lot’s guests (IE rape them), and are smitten with blindness. Lot sent out of Sodom. The Lord (IE Jesus) rains brimstone and fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
Leviticus 18:22-23 (The Lord's Commandments)
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
If you are a Chrisitan that believes in the Trinity, then anything saying Lord, God, etc is also Jesus.
If you are a Christian that does not believe in the Trinity, but believe the Son to be one in purpose with his father, anything from the Lord or God is the same as being from the Son.

Matthew 15:19 and Mark 7:21.
Jesus implores men against sexual immorality, even against sexually immoral thoughts. Sexual immorality includes homosexuality, as well as any sexual thoughts not about your own spouse. The categorical condemnation of sexual acts outside of marriage had already been delivered in the Pentateuch.
I know that's not what you're looking for. Paul wrote more extensively in order to counter a heresy that said "hey we're saved, do what you want including each other!" Basic morality was not recorded in the Gospels probably because it was understood among the Jewish followers and only became an issue later in ministry to the Gentiles.

Jesus is the Word of God. As it is written: "In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
Jesus also said, "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter or one stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been accomplished. So whoever sets aside one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:18-19)
Since the Law includes references against homosexuality, they are included in Jesus' words.
Since He is the Incarnate Word of God, whatever is in the Word of God is His. Both Old and New Testaments. In John 8:11, Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, "Go home, and from now on do not sin any more." That is a command for all of us. Go and sin no more. That includes homosexuality.

No, there isn't one. The so -called Christians listen to the old testament of the Jews. Ironic, huh? They justified their hatred for gays by quoting Leviticus who was in the old testament. Jesus said love everybody like you love me. "Love your neighbors and those who despise you because if you only love those who love you then what have you done? Even bad people love those who love them." This is all in the new testament. That is why I'm pro-gay rights and don't have anything against gay people.

All the words in the Bible are from God. "A man must leave his family and cling to his wife." "Be fruitful and multiply." There are lots of scriptures about family values and the way God intended the family unit to be---It also states about "men laying down with men and women with women" and how this is an abomination to God. You should research it in depth so that you can better understand why it is a sin and displeasing to God.

Check out the 14th verse...at the end before 15.
Revelation 2:13-15 (New Living Translation)
13 “I know that you live in the city where Satan has his throne, yet you have remained loyal to me. You refused to deny me even when Antipas, my faithful witness, was martyred among you there in Satan’s city.
14 “But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel. He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and by committing sexual sin. 15 In a similar way, you have some Nicolaitans among you who follow the same teaching.
Sexual sin is talked about in many places in the Old and New Testament. Homosexuality is sexual sin.
Just because someone is attracted to someone of the same sex does not mean they have to act on it. It is called self control.

Jesus said: "The Scripture cannot be broken." (John 10:35)
Jesus said: "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished." (Matthew 5:18)
The Law Jesus is referring to says:
"You shall not lie with male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)
Therefore, clearly Jesus did speak against homosexuality.

The four Gospels contain no specific statement by Jesus against homosexual behaviors. Jesus said nothing about Homosexuality.
Whatever, I don't believe in "sin" anyway

there are none directly from jesus, i guess he didn't have time to address such trash. actually, he rarely discussed sin in detail. However, paul says that what he wrote he recieved directly form jesus, and romans 1:22-28 follow.
22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
