Hey I'm trying to find some pdfs for queer media archival (mainly because of a certain asshole), but I can't find these few. Could those who are willing help me find downloads for them? List below the cut (kinda long).

If multiple are available from one source, just list by source and provide one link per source (unless it's a pain to search or whatever). Epub is okay but pdf is preferred.
