Is it normal that my family is hateful against everything?

They hate: Homosexuals, black people, animals, people with tattooes and piercings, my best friend and anything that doesn't suit their taste. Let me tell you why does it bother me.
Homosexuals - I'm straight but I support them as much as I can and I don't see anything wrong with it while they start yelling "Ew that's disgusting someone should kill them all!" whenever there is something about them in TV.
Black people - I hate racist people and they think every person with darker skin must be murderer or robber. That's just wrong.
Animals - They think of animals as something less than human being but they have soul and emotions too damn!
Tattooed people - I really want to have tattoo or piercing in future but anytime they see someone like this they start saying how disgusting he/she is even though it's not their damn problem.
And they hate my best friend because they think she's turning me into bad daughter or something and it's actually me who introduced her into all the stuff we like. Sorry if this is long but I want to know if anyone has family like this or is it just me.

    They would murder me! I'm a black female, have tattoos and have had homosexual experiences. Just continue being yourself. It's not normal to be so hateful but it's difficult to do so and don't try too because they outnumber you and they're your family ( not a single family is perfect).

        What I meant is that it would be difficult for you to change them.
        Fortunately I live far far far away

    Your family is pretty up there in idiocy, but they are and always will be family. The best things you can do are ask them to keep certain opinions to themselves and don't let them influence any personal decisions you make in life. Not easy I'm sure, but try your best- hold your ground.

    I think its pretty common. The white side of my family are a bit racist (toward blacks and certain Hispanics). Funny because Im part Mexican but don't look it, Ive heard all kinds of racist remarks from people who think I agree with them * massive eyeroll*
    However you keep not hating :)

    Props to you for being so open-minded in a den of racists. Unfortunately it is kind of normal for a family to hate everything, but it's still not right. You should move out as soon as you're old enough, and meet some people who aren't prejudiced jagoffs

    For the most part every generation is more open minded then the previous one. I bet Our kids will be telling us that necrophilia, zoophilia and pedophilia is absolutely normal and that no one should dictated anyone or anything what to love :) jokes aside look at the history, before people would be frown upon if they were from different religions, like catholics would not marry a Protestant... Then marriage between people with different heritage like germans and french, then marriage between races, then same sex marriages... It is normal for people to hate change. Its in human nature... Just be sure you are different. My parents have grown up in soviet union. I was brought up in a household where women and men were equal but had their own roles, not racist (extremely against racism and were known for stoping any contact with people who made racist remarks) but at the same time did not speak to me for a week when I told them I am ok with my kids being gay (if they will be of course). You just have to learn to know what is wrong and what is right and unless they go around hanging blacks and homosexuals I wouldn't worry too much :)

    I personally do not have a family like this, but you're not alone in having that kind of family. Hopefully, you can talk to them about being more open-minded, and if they're not... well, then that's there problem. You have your own opinions and if you don't live with them, then you can do whatever you please.

    It sounds like normal behavior for them (though not for the general population). Some people are just extremely xenophobic. My family is very similar to yours, so I can relate to your feelings. Kudos to you for opening your mind and refusing to adopt their prejudices. Accept that you may not be able to change them, but remember that they can't change you, either, unless you let them.
