If anybody at work makes a comment, he should directly confront them then and there.

While I agree with you, it is a problem in Delaware - by having a face-to-face confrontation with a co-worker YOU could lose your job. Delaware is not a right-to-work state, and my confronting co-workers he could have wound up with more problems than he had. Believe me, I know.

Maybe, but I wouldn't do it any other way. If somebody makes a fag comment to me in the office, I am not going just slink away. I'm not saying that you should scream at them or get violent, but if somebody makes an under-their-breath comment, you have the right to ask them firmly if there is a problem. If you slink away and complain to the boss or go to the EEO office, you're just inviting more abuse.
