The notion that violence against homosexuals should not be surprising is predicated on the repugnant notion that homosexuality, homosexuals and their families and relationships are deserving of violence -- thus we ought not be surprised when it happens.  This is filthy, despicable thinking -- and to the extent that it is rooted in Catholic teaching about homosexuality, it is evidence of precisely the point I made: that the teaching is untenable.

But I meant "untenable" in the larger sense that the teaching is widely and rightly rejected as inconsistent with what we know about human sexuality, and even more important, with what we know about our GLBTQ family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers.  This ship has sailed.  It has a way to go, of course, but there's no turning back.  Thank  God.
