Contract employee to full time employee

I've been at this job for almost a year and it was a 6 month contract to full time. I got into the company at the time where there was a merger. New boss new everything. I was supposed to be hired in January but there has been a “hiring freeze.” I put my foot down and told my boss wtf is going on? He said give me a month and Tuesday is that date. If there is no course of action I'm planning on going to HR. Is going to HR wise or what should I do?

Ever since someone told him about my sexual orientation, he would occasionally make remarks about it in front of my colleagues. He would humiliate me by saying things like “Hey do you want to try his d**k?”, then he would laugh like he's proud of what he's done. I would just laugh nervously and decline. It happened recently again. I retaliate by saying “No, but I want yours”. I thought to myself that it might shut him up. He was left speechless for a bit but then he came back with some very brutal response. He said he'll get a cucumber, lube it with butter, stick it inside me and break off the extra bits. He…
