"Your average Darwinist says little about the gay agenda or the scourge of abortion. Those two topics simply don't rate the attention that the threat from Bible thumpers merits. Gotta wonder just why that is.."

Because evolution isn't about gay rights or abortion. You don't see evolutionists talk much about tax rates or private property here for the same reasons. Nor do you see discussions about tax rates or private property include arguments from biology.

Don't you know Darwin is one inspiration for the "Free love" movement?

"There should be open competition for all men; and the most able should not be prevented by laws or customs from succeeding best and rearing the largest number of offspring."
Descent of Man, Chapter 21

I don't know if his words were twisted by libertines or not, but the implication is certainly there. Darwin, like just about everybody, gets intellectually sloppy when it comes to ethical theory and the differences between science and philosophy.
