If those views are self-righteous then yes.

Your words are subjective and dismissible. You can call it self-righteousness; but that implies there is actual merit to righteousness...righteousness is a word without meaning in a materialist universe. Therefore, your criticism is baseless. For you there IS no true righteousness so I am unaffected by your remarks.

On homosexuality? No.

Many of the doctrines that developed in the early Church would have been completely alien to Christ. The first example I can think of is the Pauline doctrine of Original Sin ("The transgression of Adam"). In Judaism (which Christ was a member of) the genesis story represents the universal inclination for man to do evil, not some inherited sin passed on from one generation to the next.

Very few teachings of the Church have a basis in the actual teachings of Christ recorded in the New Testament.

Christ is quoted as speaking out against "πορνεῖαι" both in Matthew and in Mark (15:19 and 7:21, respectively).
Homosexual acts would fall under that category of sin.
