I encourage you to not accept the Bible. However...
Does it not seem to you that the Bible would label homosexuality as a sin by its nature? It talks about man and woman uniting, caring for each other... it never discusses a homosexual relationship in a story, only heterosexual ones. Furthermore, homosexuality does not lend itself to the continuation of the human race because it does not produce any offspring. In this sense, it is "unnatural." In THIS sense. There's also a passage in Romans that talks about men having sex with each other, but people like to interpret this in strange ways.
The Bible is pretty clear on this matter. Those who think otherwise are fooling themselves out of convenience for their own beliefs. You may notice that people often justify everything they do that the Bible says is wrong by saying the passages just aren't being interpreted properly. They do this to bend the text to their own unchanging ways.
But, as I said, I encourage you to not follow the Bible...

I think he was talking about homosexuals in Matthew 19:11-12 when he said "all men can't receive this saying, some eunuchs were born that way. In verse 19:10 his disciples was saying how complicated marriage was and that it is not good to marry. I'm pretty sure Jesus was talking about gays and he didn't do it in a judgemental or condemning way either. I know he used the word eunuch but that word was used for homosexuals in those times too. I know Jesus loves all homosexuals dearly and expects us all to do the same.

"jesus" didn't say squat about homosexuals. HUMANS did. HUMANS wrote the bible for their own personal gain.
Oh, and to The Daily Way.. Jesus didn't say ANYTHING in the old testament. He wasn't even in the picture till the new testament.

Jesus himself says nothing about homesexuals. 1 Cor 6:9, Paul says that they are immorral. That being said, Jesus did say to love all sinners, you do not have to argee with what they do and such, but you should love them.
The OT says we should stone them. It also says if you catch your wife creating, you should drag her out into the middle of the street and stone her too.

nothing.
people use 2 things to claim homosexuality is a sin
1) the story of soddam but that's a blatent mistranslation--the text said "know" not "have sex with" and only in english does this word have a double meaning
2) leviticus says a man shouldn't lie with another, yet most christians will tell you that we should now disregard leviticus. otherwise we would have to run around and kill every single child that disobeys his parents.

In the old testament he stated how this behavior was unacceptable. Also think about Sodom and Gomorrah. God destroyed that place because of all the disgusting acts of homosexual's along with others.

absolutely nothing. All references to a man lying with a man as with a woman are in the old testament. Paul had some issues with sexual immorality, but then he was not a big fan of sex or marriage as well. Christ paid a lot more attention to meeting people where they were and meeting their needs. Love your neighbor, love your enemy, feed the poor... he was big on those so I try to be too.

JESUS said nothing regarding homosexuals, at least nothing that I know of. I'm not sure of your point.
GOD bless

He didn't say anything about homosexuals. Of course some psycho Christofacist fundamentalist will come up with some mis-shapen crap.
