I didn't like Zach because he was gay - or not gay. I liked him because he was a good and loyal friend to Claire. so you can just replace one gay character with another and that’s okay?

The head writer and the creator of the show as well as another writer both verified that they intended from the beginning for him to be gay, but apparently were too vague. So once Dekker's (Zach) management realized where it was headed, they through a fit because they were afraid that him playing gay now would make Fox pass on casting him in the lead on the new Terminator series. It was all a mess and offended me personally with how everybody handled it, but either way there is no way Zach is coming back. That ship has sailed. (Though semi-related: As an "apology" to the GLBT community for how the whole thing went down, they're bringing in a lesbian girl next season. o_O) As for West...he looks too "normal" for Claire. She needs someone edgier. :P He was gay, or at least intended to be.
