Whether or not the Hebrew Bible condemns homosexuality is a matter of debate. The primary verse used to condemn gay people is Leviticus 18:22, which actually has multiple interpretations among Jews.
Many Jews interpret that verse to refer to rape of enemies for the purpose of humiliation.

Were jesus' ancestors gay?
No I do not think so. We can see by the Old Testament that God considered homosexuality a sin (Genesis 19:4-7) and probably would have destroyed anyone practicing that sin as He did Sodom, especially if they had been in Jesus ancestry. This is not saying that Jesus' ancestors were sinless because they were not, but they paid for their sin if they did not repent.

What do the books in the Old Testament tell us about?
They tell part of God's redemptive story to bring humanity back into a right relationship with Him leading up to God the Father sending His Son, Jesus, into the world to bring about redemption from sin. We clearly see God's character in the Old Testament (His love, grace, holiness, sovereignty, power, saving nature, etc.) The Old Testament contains the Law and the Prophets, which Jesus later fulfilled (Matthew 5:17 & Luke 24:44). The Old Testament shows us our need of a Savior to pay for our sins, and speaks of the Savior who was to come. Jesus fulfills all of the prophecies of the Old Testament, lives a perfect life without sin, and then becomes the sacrifice for all humanity's sin, thus completing the work His Father gave Him to do.
