-Faith healing
-Young Earth Creationism
-Speaking in tongues
-Snake handling
-King James Only Bible policy
-The Rapture

Faith healing is the only one of those where I've met anyone who believes in it and supports gay marriage of course.

I've met snake-handlers who at least don't consider themselves opposed to it. Politically, snake-handlers actually tend to be Joe Manchin-style Democrats, and there are some minor strains that are more socially progressive than you might think. That part of the country is weird (though still better than the white Deep South in pretty much every conceivable way, culturally speaking).

Probably very few, for all of those categories.

You've met snake handlers?

Here is an interesting church I once stumbled across on the web though: http://www.ragingfireministries.net

While they don't seem to be snake handlers, they're from that part of the country and seem to originate from that type of Pentecostal tradition.

I was first going to ask where one goes to meet snake-handlers, but then I realized something even crazier:  you've discussed homosexuality with snake-handlers!  

...Did this conversation occur while they were handling their snake?!

Do not fight with one another over my banning.  I've enjoyed the time I have spent with all of you, but the time really has come for me to leave.  It is what I want.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home,
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.

With a guy who came in to talk to an anthropology class that I was in, whom I then sought out at his church when passing through the area on a trip to the South earlier this year. He presumably was not even remotely representative of snake-handlers (in that he was friends with an anthropology professor, for example), but he was practicing.

It wasn't a discussion of homosexuality per se; we asked him where he and his church stood on 'the issues' in general and he named that as one that people are sometimes surprised to learn this particular congregation at least isn't too big on opposing.
