Not my bible, either, but I had to study it when I was growing up. :-(
It's not a translation issue. It's what Jesus didn't say, because it would never have occurred to him. As a rabbi and preacher campaigning to return Jews to traditional Old Testament practices, he would never have considered same-sex marriages. Homosexuality was a capital offence in his world.
In all the rest of the New Testament he never mentions homosexuality. A modern equivalent would be the fact that in all his speeches, Obama never once mentioned cannibalism. He doesn't have to, we all know he's against it. Well, maybe Newt Gingridge doesn't, but you get what I mean.
