Unfortunately there is no simple answer to this question.
As with any kind of systematically accepted discrimination, you have a couple of hard to swallow pills you need to think about:
How do my other coworkers react to homophobic comments? Are they also against it or they laugh and nod? Do I have any allies or am I going to be alone in this? Do I actually care what my coworkers think?
Is homophobia something that I can report to HR or is homophobia part of the culture of this company?
Am I in the possition to do the right thing and expose this kind of behaviour, or am I putting myself in a greater risk for retaliation, humilliation or even getting fired?
Having said that, if you feel that you are not risking yourself or your own job (or you don't mind the risks of doing so), then for sure you should point it out and try to create a less toxic workplace.
I'm a little biased because I've been working as a freelancer for a very very long time and haven'r had to deal much with this kind of office-related issues, and I can pretty much choose if I want to work with as a colleague or as a client. But I hope this helps anyway 😄.
