Furthermore, the theory of evolution is driven by "bugs" in biology. Sometimes these "bugs" cause more ideal life, sometimes they don't. Does that mean that evolution isn't natural?
Atheism doesn't say "Survival of the strongest", but rather a branch of science suggests it (note that not all religion conflicts science). Furthermore, strongest implies what would cause those to breed more successfully and last longer to breed again, which technical could be include a trait against their "basic nature" sometimes. As I previously mentioned, if that "bug" ends up to be beneficial, it eventually becomes the new "natural" as you put it.
Note that I'm not trying to justify anything here, but rather just pointing out the flaw in your reasoning. Plus it's not wise to say on the internet that atheism stands for anything but not believing in god. Atheists on the internet can get quite, uh, frisky.
Also, even though some LGBT individuals can be dubious, I think the general idea is spreading tolerance. Though I'm not personally an LGBT individual, I can see that some people just want to be accepted to the degree of being a part of the community, not necessarily make everyone think the same way as them (though extreme cases exist). Similar to how I can accept having Muslim friends, even though I do not accept the faith. They don't push it on me, and I don't push my ideals on them; you know, that sort of level of acceptance.
