I don't see asaris as saying that at all. He was simply pointing out that the possibility that Jesus didn't address homosexuality as far as we know because it just wasn't on his radar. It wasn't an issue in the area in which he lived and taught.
However, I agree with SM that homosexuality not being an issue Jesus taught on is because it wasn't one he felt was necessary; not because of lack of homosexuality in his geographical area, but because of it not being necessarily "sinful."
The overarching theme of Jesus' message when you break it down is simply love one another. Of course this doesn't have to include erotic love, but that can be a part of it as well. I just can't believe that he would teach
unconditional love with the
condition of it not extending to two people of the same gender. Especially considering that there is strong evidence for homosexuality being genetic in most cases.
