Years ago my best mate, her hubby (also a friend of mine) and I used to hang out with another couple. This other couple would make homophobic remarks/jokes on a regular basis. Each time we would explain calmly why this was unacceptable.
Eventually they seemed to get the point. I have a fond memory of the five of us watching 'Edward II' together. They claimed they enjoyed it. *eg*
So, go the attempted influence I say.
Remember when I said that if someone pisses me off usually I don't say anything? That absolutely does NOT apply to racism or homophobia.
Shortly after I moved in with Dragonfly she hosted a games night for some friends of hers from work. While people were still arriving and D was puttering about in the kitchen (as she does), I had the Sydney Mardi Gras on mute in the background. Well. This was the cue for some offensive remark from some guy. It didn't go down well. I'm sure Dragonfly remembers back on that night fondly *eg*
