You do have equal rights.

Please elaborate. What "special rights" do we want that are not also granted to heterosexuals?

I hate this argument, as it can be applied to a multiple of different social groups which suffer the same "Injustices" that homosexuals feel they endure.
"Why can't I drink legally but someone over the age of 21 can?"
"Why can't I vote? It's discriminatory?"
"Why can't I <Insert action here> while <Insert group name> can?"
An argument shouldn't rely on the "They can so why can't I?" premise for strength, as it usually crumbles under scrutiny.
