He refers to them as "eunuchs", which back then was the equivalent to what we call "gay" today. He even says that some are born eunuchs, and not the traditional man made common knowledge eunuchs that most people think of.
Actually, I think people being "eunuchs who were so from birth" probably referred to intersex people (people born with ambiguous genitalia). However, I have been told by my pastor, and I agree with her, that it was a passage that may have been meant to subvert patriarchy, in that Jesus was blessing everyone who falls outside gender norms (whether they be gay, bi, trans, or just a little queer in one way or another). In Isaiah 56:3-7 and Acts 8:26-40, there are similar passages to the one in Matthew 19.
