The conservatives, Republican AND Democratic ones, basically did a better and more effective job at organizing their base. Democrats and other progressives assumed, WRONGLY, that all Dems were against Amendment 2. This is what happens when a base is listened to and not ignored and taken for granted. That base actually gets out and VOTES. Wow, what a concept!

ST LOUIS CITY:
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO 1
ROCKAWAY BEACH GAMBLING - SIMPLE
Yes (For the Amendment) 200
No (Against the Amendment) 201

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO 2
DEFINE MARRIAGE - SIMPLE
Yes (For the Amendment) 215
No (Against the Amendment) 216

For the City of St Louis results, I can't tell if the above numbers represent the number of votes against and for the two amendments or the number of precincts who voted a particular way. Difficult to tell. I cannot imagine that little more than 400 people in a city of 300,000 bothered to vote on the two amendments.
