It's taking a while to get more of these up because the microfilm/xerox-scans from the earlier years (courtesy the sf public library) need lots of photoshopping per page to get something passable. Clearer scans would help - interested parties who have access to back issues of the Advocate '81 - '83 please email me.

Still to come are Bay Area Reporter columns '78 - '81 and quite a few from late 80's Mother Jones, including long pieces on Bono, Armistead Maupin, and Laurie Anderson.
