Like Mr. Anderson, you've missed the real difference, and that
is that Amendment 2 was UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and a clear violation
of the 14th Amendment. If the voters had passed an Amendment to
the state constitution prohibiting advocacy of left-handedness
in print, the courts would have thrown that one out, too, as a
clear violation of the 1st Amendment. The voters spoke on
Amendment 2, and what they said was, in essence, "Hey, we're
bigots!". Fortunately, the U.S. Constitution puts some limits
on what a majority can do to a minority by force of law, and
Amendment 2 was clearly outside of those limits.
