>That is what is going to fall under the obscenity laws because its obviously referencing gratification to a minor
That's not how obscenity laws work. Obscenity has a very specific legal definition established by the Supreme Court. That definition, which is required for something to not be considered free speech, necessitates that the work meets every single one of these attributes:
(1) whether the average person applying contemporary community standards would find the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
(2) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and
(3) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.

The third one is the most important. It doesn't matter how lewd something is, or how offensive the community finds it. If it has any artistic or literary value. Or hell, if you can deem it political... then it can't be deemed obscene. The first and second points are made irrelevant by the third.

Hentai is art. Lolicon is art. The fact that it portrays minors is quite irrelevant because of Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition. Actual CP is able to be banned because New York v. Ferber carved out an exemption that CP could be banned *even if it wasn't obscene*, because it is the product of a real crime. Lolicon is not the product of a real crime. No matter how much you don't like it, it is protected speech. And yes, that applies even in Florida and Texas. The only thing they've done is strengthen their position on obscenity, but they don't have the ability to change what obscenity means.
