The language on equal protection deals with protected classes. Protected classes are members of certain races, religious groups, and I believe, the disabled. Women are in an intermediate category. Gays have yet to be added to a protected class.

"Democrats" are hardly a protected class. But black people are so any real discrimination against black voters would be a big, flashing red light violation of the 14th Amendment (not to mention the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act).
