Is homosexuality a sin or is being gay a sin according to Jesus?

Matt. 19:11-12 ESV: "But he said to them, 'Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.'"

Matt. 19:11-12 KJV: "But he said unto them, 'All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.'"

Jesus is silent in the gospels as to whether or not homosexuality is a sin. For many years, people have searched the gospels to find evidence of Jesus Christ's condemnation or support of homosexuality. In Matt. 19:11-12"But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it" Matt. 19:11-12 ESV., Jesus states that some people are born eunuchs, and some Christians believe that Jesus is referring to homosexuals as eunuchs within this passage. Thus, we must ask ourselves these questions:

1. Who are the men born as eunuchs in Matt. 19:11-12?

2. What does the passage of Matt. 19:11-12 mean?

3. What did Jesus think or say about "the sin of homosexuality?"
