If so, on what basis do u find it wrong?

The only thing that I find perverted is the Christian inability to leave everyone else alone.

Since most atheists arrive at their system of beliefs through critical thinking- weighing the arguments and evidence- I doubt very much that anyone would hold on to a negative view of homosexuality for very long. Of course, some may have yet to rid themselves of this unfortunate leftover of their upbringing, but I do think most will, in due time and given the inquisitive nature of atheists, free themselves of this prejudice as well.

Being an atheist is not the same thing as being amoral.
Just because one does not believe in God does not mean that they do not believe that there is such a thing as right and wrong.
As for me, I am not an atheist. However, although I believe in God I don't believe it wrong or immoral to love (even in the physical meaning of the word) someone even if that someone happens to be of the same gender.
Speaking for myself, I find the thought of physically being with another man absolutely repulsive. However, I am not arrogant enough to believe that everyone else should feel the same way.

Well, I suppose it’s possible. Take a look at Ted Haggard: He is gay and obviously thinks it’s wrong (but you know, you can’t control being gay).
As for being an atheist and thinking that’s wrong…No. If you thought atheism was wrong than you aren’t really an atheist deep down inside, you must believe in something that would make believing in atheism wrong for you.
I am agnostic. I don’t believe there is anything wrong with that. In fact it is more right to me than anything. It is Christianity that is wrong (not the people who are Christians that are evil, but Christianity itself).

Atheism = No Belief in God. Nothing More.
So, yes, an atheist could have any number of beliefs about homosexuality. But they would not find it wrong because "god told them so".
Personally, I think homosexuality is a normal and natural as heterosexuality.

I'm sure it's possible. Being atheist doesn't mean you don't have morality.
However I don't find anything wrong with homosexuality. Everyone wants someone to love and what do I care who makes who happy?

I'm sure there are some Atheists that are bothered by homosexuality, but most figure that we should leave the gays alone, let them get married. they deserve to be as miserable as the rest of us. Besides, they don't breed like rutting weasel immigrants from countries that encourage breeder religions.

Christian, Jew, Atheists, whatever. Why would anyone find it perverted to be a homosexual. It is not a birth defect or a sin. It just is.

Well yes, one can not believe in god but have certain views on sexuality. However most athiests believe in the scientific evidence that shows us that homosexuality exists in other animal species such as giraffes, goats, and dolphins. So, although most athiests do not think homosexuality is wrong or perverted, it is possible that there is one or two out there who does think so.

It certainly is. That's one of the drawbacks of freethought, is that you can still hold that view.
You won't be respected as a freethinker because of holding that view, but your views are your own.
I don't find anything 'wrong' or 'perverted' about homosexuality at all. One of my friends (well... I THOUGHT she was my friend, turns out she's a cowardly *****) is a lesbian. Not like that proves anything, but I thought I'd just throw that out there.

"Perverted" simply means out of the ordinary. Which homosexuality is. Guess it's only wrong if yous aims to bear children.
