If they were to put in a gay character, all the show's focus would suddenly surround that character due to the resulting controversy. I have absolutely nothing against gay people, but at the present time, all the social implications surrounding homosexuality make introducing a gay character something that would only detract from the storyline and perhaps character development as well. Those particular social issues don't have a good place in the current plot arch. Perhaps in the future, or under the next Avatar, they will be more relevant or salient to the show's message.
