It's not just the Old Testament. There are passages that can be interpreted as anti-homosexual passages in the New Testament though none of them can be attributed to Jesus. In fact, they can all be attributed to Paul.
The primary passage would probably be 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.
From the KJV: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
The translation from Greek raises some questions because "effeminate" actually IS the best translation, and raises the question as to why he didn't use the more appropriate term. Adding my own snark, the term he did use seems specific to males... so like a lot of guys, it seems like he was okay with girl-girl sex, but not between two guys. ;)
There are other passages scattered throughout Romans and Timothy, also all by Paul.
