That is the only reason I would see this being useful for. If you force some judge who thinks all gays are sinners and deserve to die to sentence a backwoods guy to XX number of years, I could see it being beneficial.
This is why we need legislation against hate crimes. Because a jury of peers or a judge may base their findings not just on the crime, but on their own feelings and opinions or maybe on the feeling in a community.
