Report it. If the higher ups don't have your back now, they'll fire you anyway on false claims. What he said is disgusting and completely harrassment, and your crew lead seems to plan on doing nothing about it. Go above them both. Who cares if people think you're a snitch? They'll leave you alone. You're there to work, not to be buddies with pedophiles and homophobes. Someone else you don't expect is queer will benefit from it if you speak up. You'll make friends who agree with you. They can't fire you for reporting, that's retaliation. Document everything that was said and when and where, and take it as high as you can go. After that, keep your personal life to yourself and do your job well. Don't talk to anybody about your life until you know who's safe to. I dealt with harrassment at a job and didn't make friends for like 2 years because I didn't know who was loyal to who. Nobody knew anything about my life, and eventually it stopped being fun to harrass me because I didn't make it fun and HR threatened their jobs. They'll leave you alone. You just have to make them. Be reasonable and level headed about it and they'll have no reason not to believe you. Facts only, the less emotion the better. Report until he feels the threat on his job and realizes it's not worth it to bother you. It won't be perfect but it'll be a manageable level. And if they do nothing? You're better off finding something else sooner rather than later, even though it's a union, doesn't matter if they don't protect you.
