The New Testament doesn't mention it once. The old Jewish law part does ... a bit ... right around the part that says you can't eat Bacon and Lobster on a cheese melt.
Actually, it does.

Romans 1:26-28
That was Paul, not Jesus. It's still awefully obscure and vague. Jesus said exactly zero on the subject. Now, if it were that important, would have made a point of mentioning it directly, don't you think?

You didn't say "Jesus", you said new testament.
Now, there are those that "interpret" what Jesus said about marriage to be a condemnation of homosexuality. Would you like that quote?
and if you had read through the link that cannuck supplied, you would have seen there is more than just corinthians.
The one in Matthew? If you read it again, it sounds like Jesus being ironic about adherence to old Jewish law and how unnecessary it is to continue being so.
Yup, a matter of interpretation. The same thing can be said about most of the Bible.

I know you don't understand anything about Christianity, but it's about this guy called Christ, and is based on the New Testament, which supersedes the old Jewish testament.Oh, since we're quoting the good books...
"You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." Leviticus 25:44-46
Clearly Christians are pro slavery

Besides which you'd be hard-pressed today to find any Christian country with slavery, but it exits in a number of Muslim countries, including Egypt.
Our immigration policy is one of the best even the Americans cite ours as progress.
Takes nearly two years of vetting to get a pass.

The point you continue to ignore is it's not about what is written in a book but how its followers interpret it. And we can see from the various surveys like PEW, and from simple observation, that vast numbers in the Muslim world interpret it in a harsh, rigid and violent fashion.and the NT does not condemn slavery in any way. As a matter of fact, it could be said it supports it.
