This is a fallacy. You're saying the only evidence of Christianity being pro-slavery and homophobic would be if Jesus himself made pro-slavery and homophobic remarks.
I'm saying the evidence is that Jesus condemned all of the behavior around him that he saw as immoral, but never condemned slavery and homophobia. It's like how Trump is super quick to condemn kneeling during the national anthem, but pretended to not know anything about the KKK when he was asked to condemn them.
If that's not enough, Jesus also said that the old laws will not be changed. This means that the rules of the Old Testament, such as homosexuality being a sin, are still to be followed.
