It's nothing official, just him saying that he would like to include gay characters and thinks they exist in the SW universe. His actual quote:
By Abrams’ logic, the sprawling Star Wars universe couldn’t possibly exist without a gay populace—even if we haven’t seen a single character identified as gay thus far. “I would love it,” he said. “To me, the fun of Star Wars is the glory of possibility. So it seems insanely narrow-minded and counterintuitive to say that there wouldn’t be a homosexual character in that world.”
So, really, nothing confirmed or official, just him saying it could happen.
