You might also mention that one of Christ's actions involved the healing of a Roman Centurion warrior's personal companion. Such companions/ manservants were typically involved in intimate relationships with the soldier, who might have a wife at home to carry on the family line, but slept with and spent most of his time with this boy or young man. Not only was the young man cured, but Christ said nothing to condemn their relationship, and as you note he never once condemned ity- even though it was openly practiced in the Roman Empire.
