The two are not mutually exclusive, but neither implies the other.
First, are atheists also gay? I can prove this question false by providing myself as evidence. Even without that evidence, there is nothing about sexuality in a disbelief in gods. Not believing in a god has no bearing on a person being gay, straight, bi, or asexual.
Second, are gays also atheists? I would argue no. Not all religions condemn homosexuality. So, there is no reason that a gay person couldn't belong to a religion. There are even Christian homosexuals, some of which hate their own sexual inclination and try to change. This desire to change in order to please a higher being is certainly not consistent with atheism.
The second question can be applied to conservative Christianity by changing the wording a little: Are sinners atheists? In the Christian worldview, homosexuality is a sin, but it does not mean that the homosexual denies God.

Gay people are just like everyone else other than their sexual preferences theythink feel and decide for themselves I know some gays who claim christianity and rightly for God always loves the sinner even when he may hate the sin.one cannot generalise on anothers thinking just because of their sexual prefferences!

well i'm not gay but i am atheist. Atheism isn't the result of being gay but rather complete disatisfaction with many aspects of religion and in particular the concept of a god(s).

No. Thats the simple answer. The long answer is way more complicated. But no, they/we are not necissarily. Although there is no reason that some wouldn't be.
