i'm not sure, for sure it's something very difficult, and i'm sure you've already tried to talk to your superiors, in case you didn't succeed, in the last place i would try to change my place of work. this for sure should be a crime all over the world!

I agree. But in my country (Germany) it's not a crime to be homophobic. It's a crime to discriminate. But being homophobic, racist, sexist, etc. is a different thing. They can always say it's not discrimination, but they don't like a certain person. And no law can force other people to be friendly towards each other. Also it's hard to prove.
