Thing about the Old Testament and religion is it allows any and all amounts of wack doodlry, I have no idea what Jesus meant, don't really care that much frankly, but I know full well idiots calling themselves preachers will find some crap in Leviticus to justify what ever nastiness they wish to preach, it's the nature of man unfortunately.
