Just because He didn't say anything about homosexuality didn't mean He
approved of it. It means the exact opposite. Homosexuality was against
Jewish teachings and back at the time when Jesus was around was
strongly prohibited in the society he lived in. Therefore He would
have only felt a need to speak out on that issue if He disagreed with
the position that the society had on the issue.  There would be no
purpose to speak out if He believed what the general public believed
on the issue.

By the way, did Jesus ever speak out against Murder?  Perhaps He did
but I can't remember where or when in the Bible He did. But of course
if he didn't that doesn't mean he was pro-murder. It just means since
the society itself had such a view it would not make sense for him to
state something that everyone already believed.

Jesus Himself said "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law
or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
(Matthew 5-17)" So since Jesus never mentioned homosexuality you would
have to look to the Old Testament which clearly forbids homosexuality.
