I think the weird part is that Jeff Davis is gay but doesn't want any main gay characters.

There are shows that represent LGBT characters better. Lost Girl, for example has a female bisexual lead-yes lead-and a lesbian main character. Their sexualities are just shown as part of who they are. They are also a badass rebel/PI and brilliant doctor, respectively, with back stories and one liners and stuff. We know Danny's gay, plays lacrosse, is smart and had a run in with the law for hacking. That's it.

Also it's kind of weird to have a majority white cast in a majority minority state.

Jeff's thought processes remain a mystery to everyone except perhaps Jeff (and his therapist). Why he passed over Danny, a fan favorite character, season-after-season in favor of new straight characters (many of whom are now gone) is a question only he can answer.

Now, Ryan Murphy is well-known for deliberately doing things in-show just to stir up the fans. He even lampshaded himself on The New Normal, where the character Bryan, who is an expy of Ryan himself and in-show was the producer of Glee-like show, at one point deliberately writes a break-up between his two lead characters solely to cause a Twitter riot. As he walks away from his computer he says with a satisfied tone: "Millions of teen tears!" Since Ryan was basically characterizing himself, it explains years worth of Glee flame wars raging across the internet.

Jeff appears to enjoy suffering (you know, there was a time not that long ago when the FCC would not allow you to show the physical torture of minors on a TV show like this...). So maybe he enjoys torturing the fans? He has yet to answer the question explicitly, which forces us to speculate.
