Gibson was once quoted saying that major news channel BBC was an anti American.

Being an author, he is expected to be a thinker and intellectual class, so his remarks make waves.

John is married or not; many speculations are made about the topic but certainly there are no answers. In his words, the concept of marriage is that the people marry just because they need to have children and raise them.  In this regard once he was quoted as saying that the concept of gay marriage should be replaced by another word. People get married to raise their children, and gays cannot have children. Marriage happens only between a man and woman.
