On the contrary, Jesus addresses it in Matthew 19:12. In rabbinic Judaism the expression "eunuchs from birth" refers to men who, for whatever reason lack a natural attraction to women. This group of men includes gays. Jesus implies that the homosexual sex orientation is OK: "Let him receive who will." But of course Jesus would acknowledge the OT's condemnation of gay sex acts.

HELPS Word-studies
2135 eunoúxos – properly, "alone in bed" (i.e. without a marriage partner) – literally, a
castrated (emasculated) man; a
eunuch; " 'a chamberlain, keeper of the bed-chamber' of an Eastern potentate, 'a eunuch' " (Souter); (figuratively) someone who
abstains from marriage (sexual relations) to be
solely devoted to God – as in Mt 19:12 where
2135 (
eunoúxos) refers to someone who voluntarily chooses a life of
sexual abstinence (see also
LXX: Est 2:14,15; Is 56:3,4).
Here is the context of what was being said:
"And I say to you that whoever shall divorce his wife except for sexual immorality, and shall marry another, commits adultery."
As you can see in Matt.19:9, the teaching is regarding those who would divorce his wives, which is in the feminine, referring to women and does not include homosexuals. To this the disciples reply to Jesus with the following:
"His disciples say to Him, "If this is the case of the man with the wife, it is better not to marry."
Again, the context is referring to marriage between a man and wife, masculine, feminine. Then Jesus says the following:
"And He said to them, "Not all receive this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
In other words, some men were born eunuchs and others were made eunuchs by men, i.e. they were castrated. Others become eunuchs by their own admission, i.e. abstain from sex for the sake of the kingdom of God.
Being a eunuch has nothing to do with "men who, for whatever reason lack a natural attraction to women." It is done by force by other men or is a willful decision by the individual. That said, Jesus was not condoning homosexuality. The following is what God has to say regarding those who willfully continue living a same-sex life style:
"In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire." Jude 7
You have presented a false teaching by implying that Jesus said "homosexual sex orientation is OK." You have misrepresented God. Study the definition of the word eunuch above and look at the context of what Jesus and His disciples were talking about in order to have a clear understanding that this issue was about men divorcing their wives.
