(15,909 posts)I have no doubt there are anti-gay attitudes among atheists. While definitions of atheism are debated, no reasonably accurate definition says anything one way or the other about attitudes towards homosexuality and other gender issues. Taking a stance on the existence of deities has no direct connection to any particular stance on any other topic, be it about sexuality or anything else.
That said, in my experience I've seen much more LGBT support among American atheists and humanists and skeptics than in the overall American religious community. Whatever bad examples you might have encountered, you'd have a hard time proving that it is at all typical or exemplary of atheists. I went to this years "Reason Rally" in Washington, and support there for issues like gay marriage was loud and enthusiastic.
I haven't even heard of "Darwin Central" before. Is this what you mean: http://www.darwincentral.org/?
