Um. No. Just because two girls are best friends doesn't mean they're gay. By that logic, Turk and JD from Scrubs are legitimately a homosexual couple, but if you watch the show you know it's just an extremely close bromance.
Not to mention Jane herself says she's straight and seems pretty sure of it until she's tricked into feeling unsure about it. Jane is straight. Daria has only shown evidence of being straight.
The reason your husband might have for Daria being gay is her jealousy when Jane was dating Tom but think of it this way. The two were best friends, the two biggest outcasts in the school. In Daria's mind it was likely a "Too good for typical high school experiences" kinda thing between them that bonded them, so whenever Jane would show interest in a guy, something the two of them were supposed to be 'immune' to as the oddball high schoolers, she felt betrayed and irrationally angry, which is very typical of friendships between girls (or even guys) where one of the two starts dating all of a sudden.
Your husband is welcome to ship them together but there's no chance of that being something official.
