neg: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 American science fiction fantasy film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg , and written by Melissa Mathison . It features special effects by Carlo Rambaldi and Dennis Muren , and stars Henry Thomas , Dee Wallace , Robert MacNaughton , Drew Barrymore , Peter Coyote and Pat Welsh . It tells the story of Elliott ( Thomas ) , a lonely boy who befriends an extraterrestrial , dubbed `` E.T. '' , who is stranded on Earth . He and his siblings help it return home while attempting to keep it hidden from their mother and the government .   The concept was based on an imaginary friend Spielberg created after his parents ' divorce in 1960 . In 1980 , Spielberg met Mathison and developed a new story from the stalled sci-fi horror film project Night Skies . It was shot from September to December 1981 in California on a budget of US$ 10.5 million . Unlike most films , it was shot in rough chronological order , to facilitate convincing emotional performances from the young cast .   Released on June 11 , 1982 by Universal Pictures , E.T was an immediate blockbuster , surpassing Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time -- a record it held for eleven years until Jurassic Park , another Spielberg-directed film , surpassed it in 1993 .

Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time , critics acclaimed it as a timeless story of friendship , and it ranks as the greatest science fiction film ever made in a Rotten Tomatoes survey .

neg: B movie A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie , but one that is not an arthouse film . In its original usage , during the Golden Age of Hollywood , the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature . Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s , the term B movie continues to be used in the broader sense it maintains today . In its post -- Golden Age usage , there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition : on the one hand , the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient ; on the other , many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity .   In either usage , most B movies represent a particular genre -- the Western was a Golden Age B movie staple , while low-budget science-fiction and horror films became more popular in the 1950s . Early B movies were often part of series in which the star repeatedly played the same character . Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired with , many had running times of 70 minutes or less . The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners ; individual B films were often ignored by critics .   Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple sequels , but series are less common . As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased , so did that of B pictures . In its current usage , the term has somewhat contradictory connotations : it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is ( a ) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or ( b ) a lively , energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively `` serious '' independent film . The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted , mainstream films with exploitation-style content , usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie .   From their beginnings to the present day , B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning . Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies . They are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established , and they have provided work for former A movie actors , such as Vincent Price and Karen Black . Some actors , such as Bela Lugosi , Eddie Constantine and Pam Grier , worked in B movies for most of their careers . The term B actor is sometimes used to refer to a performer who finds work primarily or exclusively in B pictures .

It was produced by Working Title Films for Universal Pictures , and was filmed on the Isle of Portland and at Shepperton Studios .   After the world premiere in London 's Leicester Square on 29 March 2009 , the film was released in United Kingdom and Ireland on 1 April 2009 . It was a commercial failure at the British box office , making only US$ 10.1 million in its first three months , just a fifth of its US$ 50 million production cost . It received mixed reviews , with most criticism directed at its muddled storyline and 2 1/4 - hour length . For its North American release the film had its running time cut by 20 minutes , and was retitled Pirate Radio . Opening 13 November 2009 , it was still commercially unsuccessful in the US , earning only US$ 8 million .

neg: Tom Norman Tom Norman , born Thomas Noakes , ( 7 May 1860 -- 24 August 1930 ) , was an English businessman , showman and the last exhibitor of Joseph Merrick who was otherwise known as the `` Elephant Man '' . Among his later exhibits were a troupe of midgets , a `` Man in a Trance '' , `` John Chambers the armless Carpenter '' , and the `` World 's Ugliest Woman '' .   Norman started his working life as a butcher in Sussex before moving to London at the age of 14 where he sought a career on the music hall stage . There , he became interested in freak shows which he attended in his spare time . After viewing an exhibition called `` Electric Lady '' next door to his place of work , he went into business with the exhibition 's manager and began his career as a showman of human oddities . He quickly became successful , for his patter as much as his exhibits , and was called the ` Silver King ' by the American showman P. T. Barnum .   In 1884 , Norman took over the management of Joseph Merrick , otherwise known as the `` Elephant Man '' , and exhibited him for a few weeks until police closed down the show . Merrick later went to live at the London Hospital under the care of Sir Frederick Treves . In his 1923 memoirs , Treves portrayed Norman as a cruel drunk who ruthlessly exploited his acts . Norman refuted this characterisation and said that he provided Merrick ( and his other `` freaks '' ) with a means of making money independently . Norman continued a successful career as a showman and later became an auctioneer of novelty shows and circuses .   Norman died in 1930 and was survived by his wife and 10 children , five of whom followed him into the entertainment business .

neg: Tom's Restaurant Tom 's Restaurant is a diner located at 2880 Broadway ( on the corner of West 112th Street ) in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City . Frequented by students and faculty of nearby Columbia University , it has been owned and operated by the Greek-American family of Minas Zoulis since the 1940s .   Tom 's Restaurant was the locale that inspired Suzanne Vega 's 1982 song `` Tom 's Diner . '' Later , its exterior was used as a stand-in for the fictional Monk 's Café in the television sitcom Seinfeld , where comedian Jerry Seinfeld 's eponymous character and his friends regularly gathered to eat . The interior shown on the television show , however , looked very little like the real `` Tom 's '' , as indoor scenes were filmed on a set in Los Angeles .   Early Seinfeld episodes showed the entire neon sign ; later , the `` Tom 's '' portion was cropped out , showing only the `` RESTAURANT '' wraparound . Even though the interior and exterior have undergone minor remodeling since the show , the distinctive sign has remained the same . Tom 's is featured in Kramer 's Reality Tour conducted by Kenny Kramer .   Senator John McCain often ate at Tom 's when he visited his daughter Meghan when she was a student at Columbia .   Tom 's exterior has been seen on television before , in the 1978 The Bionic Woman episode `` Long Live the King '' at around the 27 minute mark of the DVD release .

query: LGBT is an acronym.

pos: LGBT LGBT , or GLBT , is an initialism that stands for lesbian , gay , bisexual , and transgender . In use since the 1990s , the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB , which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s . Activists believed that the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred .   The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation ; it has been adopted by the majority of sexuality and gender identity-based community centers and media in the United States , as well as some other English-speaking countries . The term is used also in some other countries , particularly those which languages use the initialism , such as Argentina , France , and Turkey .   The initialism , LGBT , is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures . It may be used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender , instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian , gay , bisexual , or transgender . To recognize this inclusion , a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual identity ; LGBTQ has been recorded since 1996 . Those who add intersex people to LGBT groups or organizing use an extended initialism LGBTI . Some people combine the two acronyms and use the term LGBTIQ . Others use LGBT + to encompass a spectrum of gender and sexuality .

pos: Acronym An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word , usually individual letters ( as in NATO or laser ) and sometimes syllables ( as in Benelux ) .   There are no universal standards of the multiple names for such abbreviations and of their orthographic styling . In English and most other languages , such abbreviations historically had limited use , but they became much more common in the 20th century . Acronyms are a type of word formation process , and they are viewed as a subtype of blending .

neg: Outing Outing is the act of disclosing an LGBT person 's sexual orientation or gender identity without that person 's consent . Outing gives rise to issues of privacy , choice , hypocrisy , and harm in addition to sparking debate on what constitutes common good in efforts to combat homophobia and heterosexism . A publicized outing targets prominent figures in a society , for example well-known politicians , accomplished athletes or popular artists . Opponents to LGBT rights movements as well as activists within LGBT communities have used this type of outing as a controversial political campaign or tactic . In an attempt to pre-empt being outed , an LGBT public figure may decide to come out publicly first , although controlling the conditions under which one 's LGBT identity is revealed is only one of numerous motives for coming out .

neg: LGBT rights in communism LGBT rights in communism has evolved radically throughout history . In the 20th century , Marxist states and parties varied on LGBT rights , with some being among the first political parties to support LGBT rights , while others maintained anti-LGBT views . In the 21st century , communist parties are generally pro-LGBT rights and the only Communist state left in the Americas , Cuba , has supported pro-LGBT policy since the 1970s .

neg: Pride parade Pride parades ( also known as pride marches , pride events , and pride festivals ) for the LGBT community are events celebrating lesbian , gay , bisexual , and transgender ( LGBT ) culture and pride .

neg: List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: H Parent article : List of gay , lesbian or bisexual people ;  Siblings :   This is a partial list of confirmed famous people who were or are gay , lesbian or bisexual . Famous people who are simply rumored to be gay , lesbian or bisexual , are not listed .   The historical concept and definition of sexual orientation varies and has changed greatly over time ; for example the word `` gay '' was n't used to describe sexual orientation until the mid 20th century . A number of different classification schemes have been used to describe sexual orientation since the mid-19th century , and scholars have often defined the term `` sexual orientation '' in divergent ways . Indeed , several studies have found that much of the research about sexual orientation has failed to define the term at all , making it difficult to reconcile the results of different studies . However , most definitions include a psychological component ( such as the direction of an individual 's erotic desire ) and/or a behavioural component ( which focuses on the sex of the individual 's sexual partner/s ) . Some prefer to simply follow an individual 's self-definition or identity . See homosexuality and bisexuality for criteria that have traditionally denoted lesbian , gay and bisexual ( LGB ) people .   The high prevalence of people from the West on this list may be due to societal attitudes towards homosexuality . The Pew Research Center 's 2003 Global Attitudes Survey found that '' -LSB- p -RSB- eople in Africa and the Middle East strongly object to societal acceptance of homosexuality . But there is far greater tolerance for homosexuality in major Latin American countries such as Mexico , Argentina , Bolivia and Brazil . Opinion in Europe is split between West and East . Majorities in every Western European nation surveyed say homosexuality should be accepted by society , while most Russians , Poles and Ukrainians disagree . Americans are divided -- a thin majority ( 51 percent ) believes homosexuality should be accepted , while 42 percent disagree . ''

neg: LGBT social movements Lesbian , gay , bisexual , transgender , and questioning ( LGBTQ ) social movements are social movements that advocate for the equalized acceptance of LGBT people in society . In these movements , LGBTQ people and their allies have a long history of campaigning for what is now generally called LGBTQ rights , sometimes also called gay rights or gay and lesbian rights . Although there is not a primary or an overarching central organization that represents all LGBT people and their interests , numerous LGBT rights organizations are active worldwide . The earliest organizations to support LGBT rights were formed in the 19th century .   A commonly stated goal among these movements is social equality for LGBT people , but there is still denial of full LGBTQ rights . Some have also focused on building LGBT communities or worked towards liberation for the broader society from biphobia , homophobia , and transphobia . There is a struggle for LGBTQ rights today . LGBT movements organized today are made up of a wide range of political activism and cultural activity , including lobbying , street marches , social groups , media , art , and research .   Overview   Sociologist Mary Bernstein writes : `` For the lesbian and gay movement , then , cultural goals include ( but are not limited to ) challenging dominant constructions of masculinity and femininity , homophobia , and the primacy of the gendered heterosexual nuclear family ( heteronormativity ) . Political goals include changing laws and policies in order to gain new rights , benefits , and protections from harm . '' Bernstein emphasizes that activists seek both types of goals in both the civil and political spheres .   As with other social movements there is also conflict within and between LGBT movements , especially about strategies for change and debates over exactly who comprises the constituency that these movements represent , this also applies to changing education . There is debate over to what extent lesbians , gays , bisexuals , transgender people , intersexed people and others share common interests and a need to work together . Leaders of the lesbian and gay movement of the 1970s , 80s and 90s often attempted to hide masculine lesbians , feminine gay men , transgender people , and bisexuals from the public eye , creating internal divisions within LGBT communities . Roffee and Waling ( 2016 ) discovered that LGBTIQ people experience microaggressions , bullying and anti-social behaviours from other people within the LGBTIQ community . This is due to misconceptions and conflicting views as to what entails `` LGBTIQ '' . For example , transgender people found that other members of the community were not understanding to their own , individual , specific needs and would instead make ignorant assumptions , and this can cause health risks . Additionally , bisexual people found that lesbian or gay people were not understanding or appreciative of the bisexual sexuality . Evidently , even though most of these people would say that they stand for the same values as the majority of the community , there are still remaining inconsistencies even within the LGBTIQ community .   LGBT movements have often adopted a kind of identity politics that sees gay , bisexual and transgender people as a fixed class of people ; a minority group or groups , and this is very common among LGBTQ communities . Those using this approach aspire to liberal political goals of freedom and equal opportunity , and aim to join the political mainstream on the same level as other groups in society . In arguing that sexual orientation and gender identity are innate and can not be consciously changed , attempts to change gay , lesbian and bisexual people into heterosexuals ( `` conversion therapy '' ) are generally opposed by the LGBT community . Such attempts are often based in religious beliefs that perceive gay , lesbian and bisexual activity as immoral .   However , others within LGBT movements have criticised identity politics as limited and flawed , elements of the queer movement have argued that the categories of gay and lesbian are restrictive , and attempted to deconstruct those categories , which are seen to `` reinforce rather than challenge a cultural system that will always mark the nonheterosexual as inferior . ''   After the French Revolution the anticlerical feeling in Catholic countries coupled with the liberalizing effect of the Napoleonic Code made it possible to sweep away sodomy laws . However , in Protestant countries , where the church was less severe , there was no general reaction against statutes that were religious in origin . As a result , many of those countries retained their statutes on sodomy until late in the 20th century .

The Penal Code prohibits `` carnal knowledge against the order of nature '' , attempts to commit `` carnal knowledge against the order of nature '' , and acts of `` gross indecency '' . However , in November 2012 , President Joyce Banda suspended all laws that criminalized homosexuality . In July 2014 , the Justice Minister announced that Malawi would no longer arrest people for same-sex sexual activity and review its anti-gay laws .   In late December 2009 , a trans woman , Tiwonge Chimbalanga , and a man , Steven Monjeza , were arrested after holding a traditional `` engagement '' party . On 18 May 2010 , they were found guilty of having committed `` unnatural offenses '' and `` indecent practices between males '' . On 29 May 2010 , then President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned both individuals .   On 17 April 2015 , The Marriage , Divorce and Family Relations Law came into force and banned all same-sex marriages and unions . While the law was praised for raising the minimum age of heterosexual marriages from 16 to 18 , it was at the same time condemned for the exclusion of homosexual couples and for its language stating that one 's gender is assigned at birth . The new law does not allow people who have undergone gender reassignment surgery to marry someone of that person 's prior gender and also draws comparisons of gay sex to rape and sexual harassment .

neg: List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sa–Sc Parent article : List of gay , lesbian or bisexual people ;  Siblings :   The historical concept and definition of sexual orientation varies and has changed greatly over time ; for example the word `` gay '' was n't used to describe sexual orientation until the mid 20th century . A number of different classification schemes have been used to describe sexual orientation since the mid-19th century , and scholars have often defined the term `` sexual orientation '' in divergent ways . Indeed , several studies have found that much of the research about sexual orientation has failed to define the term at all , making it difficult to reconcile the results of different studies . However , most definitions include a psychological component ( such as the direction of an individual 's erotic desire ) and/or a behavioural component ( which focuses on the sex of the individual 's sexual partner/s ) . Some prefer to simply follow an individual 's self-definition or identity .   The high prevalence of people from the West on this list may be due to societal attitudes towards homosexuality . The Pew Research Center 's 2003 Global Attitudes Survey found that '' -LSB- p -RSB- eople in Africa and the Middle East strongly object to societal acceptance of homosexuality . But there is far greater tolerance for homosexuality in major Latin American countries such as Mexico , Argentina , Bolivia and Brazil . Opinion in Europe is split between West and East . Majorities in every Western European nation surveyed say homosexuality should be accepted by society , while most Russians , Poles and Ukrainians disagree . Americans are divided -- a thin majority ( 51 percent ) believes homosexuality should be accepted , while 42 percent disagree . ''   This is a partial list of confirmed famous people who were or are gay , lesbian or bisexual . Famous people who are simply rumored to be gay , lesbian , or bisexual are not listed .

It was founded in 1994 as Lesbian Gay New York , later LGNY , and was sold to Community Media LLC , owner of The Villager , in 2002 , which renamed the publication . It is the largest LGBT newspaper in the United States , with a circulation of 47,000 .   Gay City News came into existence after several incarnations . The newspaper began to form in the late 1980s after the collapse of the LGBT newsmagazine OUTWEEK ( which came into existence in 1989 to compete against the then-dominant New York Native -- which itself folded in 1997 ) . OUTWEEK was famous for firebrand activist style journalism and provided groundbreaking coverage of a then nascent gay civil rights movement . It was one of the first publications to undertake scientific reporting on the growing AIDS crisis .   After an investor squabble that closed the magazine , Troy Masters , then an advertising director at OUTWEEK , led the formation of a group to create a new publication ; that publication became known as QW ( or `` QueerWeek '' ) , the first glossy gay magazine , and was funded by William F. Chafin . Mr. Chafin died before the publication could make a profit , and the magazine was closed upon his death .   Two years later , Masters sought to establish a newspaper and founded LGNY ( Which stood for `` Lesbian-Gay New York '' ) . LGNY published for eight years and was relaunched in 2002 as Gay City News .   Its current editor-in-chief is Paul Schindler , and the associate editor is Duncan Osborne .

neg: Transgender Law Center The Transgender Law Center ( TLC ) is an Oakland-based civil rights organization advocating for transgender communities . They are California 's first `` fully staffed , state-wide transgender legal organization '' and were initially a fiscally sponsored project of the National Center for Lesbian Rights .

TLC utilizes direct legal services , public policy advocacy , and educational opportunities to advance the rights and safety of diverse transgender communities .   Since launching in 2002 , TLC has held over 250 transgender law workshops providing legal information to more than 3,250 community members , attorneys , social service providers , and business owners , as well as collaborated on public policy initiatives designed to improve safety in schools and prisons and safe access to public restrooms for transgender people in San Francisco . TLC successfully helped to revise San Francisco 's `` Regulations to Prohibit Gender Identity Discrimination '' in December 2003 , making them more inclusive of people who do not identify as strictly female or male , and to pass legislation in the City of Oakland banning gender identity discrimination in housing , employment , public accommodation , and city services .

The population was 1,710 at the 2010 census , down from 1,743 at the 2000 census . Residents of this small mountain town are commonly referred to as `` Willow Creekers . '' The town is located around 25 mi inland from county seat and harbor city Eureka , with the two places vastly differing in climate .   Willow Creek sits along the Trinity River . Willow Creek is described as a `` rugged mountain community nestled in the heart of the Six Rivers National Forest . '' This area of California is located in the Trinity/Shasta/Cascade Region , near the Oregon border , and is easily reached via State Routes 96 ( the `` Bigfoot Scenic Byway '' ) and 299 .   The town , which is at the intersection of those Routes , is the Bigfoot capital of the world , and holds an annual `` Bigfoot Daze '' festival in September in honor of the creature , followed by various festivities in a local park . The roadhead of the Bluff Creek / Fish Lake Road , near which many alleged Bigfoot sightings and footprint finds occurred , is about 46 miles northeast , along Route 96 . A non-commercial `` Willow Creek Bigfoot Landmarks : A Brief Touring Guide , plus BF Odds and Ends '' can be viewed online .   The region is the location of the Willow Creek American Viticultural Area . Organic gardens and vineries abound and welcome travelers to try their wares . The upper Trinity River offers a classic Class III river rafting run with moderate rapids , followed by the Burnt Ranch Gorge , which is one of the toughest runs in the entire state .   An Amazon reviewer of the 2013 found-footage horror film , Willow Creek , says , `` The endearing quirkiness of the town is captured very well in the iconography , the interviews ( particularly with Steven S. , the bookstore owner ) , and the food . '' The Wikipedia review says , `` The two stop off first in Willow Creek ... where various locals talk to Jim 's camera , warning them to keep out of the woods , singing ballads about Bigfoot , and generally enjoying their 15 minutes in the spotlight while Jim and Kelly have a blast ... ''   Willow Creek was served for many decades by the weekly Klamity Kourier newspaper , which closed in 2006 and was quickly replaced by the Bigfoot Valley News also based in Willow Creek . The Bigfoot Valley News has since closed , but the regional newspaper , Two Rivers Tribune ( www.tworiverstribune.com ) , opened in 1994 and is still going strong . Its news coverage area is from Burnt Ranch all the way to Happy Camp , 97.5 miles ( by Routes 299 and 96 ) to the north .
