I'm just going to give you a few links to the Human Rights Campaign site. This should give you a good ballpark. I know this is a lot of reading, but you asked and there are a LOT of rights we do not have.

The right to marry in the USA. Uhm there's countries where there are no rights, homosexuality can be dealt with by execution(Iran for example, though it's argued that they're anti-USA not anti-homosexuality).

D'you mean beside not having the right to marry the non-related legal adult that they choose(that would include 1049 legal "rights into and of itself), or are you asking in more general terms? Many states do not have anti-discrimination laws and it is perfectly legal to openly fire someone for being homosexual...
Some states make it illegal for Gays or Lesbians to adopt children, even if they can pass all the other criteria for adoption....

The right to have my spouse of thirty years to make my final medical decisions without the intrusion of my family. The legal guarantee that my family who has done nothing for me since I was twenty-six years will not fight and win due to my sexuality the estate which I build away from the one person that has always been there for me. If I should decide to walk away from the relationship (which I have no plans to do) he has no legal protection to get his equal share of our property. When he was in a bad auto accident I was not allowed to see him for four days because his brother who he had not seen in six years requested the hospital not to admit me. It was not until he could instruct the hospital otherwise was I allowed in the room. These are important rights to me!

I don't have the right to sponsor my life partner for immigration to the US like opposite sex couples.
I guess you have a HUGE list of rights that homosexuals do not have!

They do not have the right to legally marry the one they love (in the majority of states). Hetrosexuals do.
That's inequality. It's unAmerican.

The right to be treated exactly the same as heterosexuals.
