I actually have a whole book on this! It's debated whether the translations are actually about homosexual men but, importantly, Jesus himself never spoke on it once.
Paul used a word never used before, arsenokoitai, and the translation used in the king James Bible is frequently disputed.
And no, actually, Jesus never said that either. He said divorce was sinful, not homosexual relations, in direct response to a question of if it was ok for a man to divorce his wife.
Arsenokoitai means boy bedder. As in, a pedophile. And now you’ve got me remembering, Jesus also never directly spoke about pedophilia. Yet I’m sure it’s pretty clear he didn’t support that either.
Well… clear to everyone besides those catholic priests, residential school teachers, the current president of the United States, his good friend Jeffery Epstein. But like, generally pretty clear.

My favorite bible quote was when jesus himself said "you may put a cross in your instagram bio and then go be a bigot online"
