In a statement to ABC News, Brian Michael Bendis, the writer of the book, said, "There are thousands if not millions of stories of people who, for many different reasons, felt the need to hide their sexuality. The X-Men, with the conceit of time travel, give us a fascinating platform in which to examine such personal journeys. This is just the first little chapter of a much larger story that will be told.”

According to the book, Jean Grey is talking with her friend Iceman as teens (via time travel). Iceman is talking about his teacher Magik and saying how hot he thinks she is. That's when Jean (who can read minds by-the-way) cuts in to let her friend know she knows the truth, he's gay and she doesn't care.
