There isn't a specific federal law about gay couple's, but as citizens of the US, they have constitutional rights. At one time, people of different races were not afforded any constitutional protections; that changed, and considering the culture today, it's not out of line to think that homosexuals will be considered a protected class in the near future.
But you are confusing rights granted under the constitution designed to protect citizens from the infringement of right by a government with the actions of private businesses.
The 14th amendment does not apply to a private business. If the business receives state funding, sure, but not completely private businesses.

And by enacting this law, the state is acting--unlike Colorado, where the issue was (and should have remained) one of private businesses interacting with their customers, the state of MS has "acted" against gay couples with this law.
