You can read what is behind them on this page.

But to note the basics....

So they were originally only making Rin but due to the popularity of Miku Len was quickly added to the concept very early on. The reason being is that CFM didn't intend to do any male vocals and had already decided they were only going to focus on female vocals because of how poorly Kaito faired versus Meiko in V1. So they used the chance to add a male that was unplanned and yet stick to their original plan.

(note; my theory is that there were only 3 voicebanks planned by CFM Miku, Rin and Luka. Len and Luka English were added later and CFM basically has worked around this, as early on they pretty much seem to be heading for this direction).

I'm going to add some notes I did early on when I was first in this fandom about voice acting.

Due to the fact there is no difference between male and female child vocals, and Len represents a young boy, they could use the same provider for both characters. You can't use a actual boy, because once puberty hits that vocal is gone forever and its a common problem within voice acting. The best way around this is to select a adult female, as their vocal isn't impacted by puberty and she can still do a child range. I will add that though this is true, the adult female vocal is a bit solid and is a lot bigger in depth then a child's vocal.

Since Miku, Rin and Luka were original meant to be voice acted results, this would have deemed fine as they voice actress was known to have done young boy roles before.

This has nothing to do with any LGTB+ stuff in any way shape of form. Its just common voice acting practices and CFM taking advantage of a provider able to do "male vocals" and female vocals... And she does it pretty badly I'll add when it comes to Vocaloid. I've heard do Rin and Len's vocals in real life and at times you can barely tell them apart.
