Since we don't have Bush's exact quote, the reference is certainly subject to interpretation.

The impression Armstrong received was that as long as someone kept his or her sexual preferences private and did not promote them to influence policy, Bush could live with such an arrangement.

My interpretation of this sentence is that Bush doesn't want his appointees parading their sexual activities around to influence policy, whether hetero- or homo- sexual. I agree with him wholeheartedly and hardly consider this an anti-gay stance.
