What? You think people picketing outside a courthouse is going to do anything if there isn't any laws on the books?
Judges have peer organizations they have to answer to as well. Public outrage can very well grease those wheels.

Besides, do you honestly thing Matthew Sheppard's atttackers would have given a flying fuck whether such laws were on books?

Their little brains were too roasted on meth to give a fuck about much of anything.
