In "Harry Grunsky - Electoral Politics Gay Activist (Part A)", Harry Grunsky discusses his involvement as a gay activist working within the BC-NDP and Vancouver civic party - COPE (Core Of Progressive Electors). He describes how he and Jim Green worked together to nominate Sue Harris to the COPE Vancouver Parks Board slate. She went on to get the nomination, get elected, and become the first openly elected lesbian in Canada. Harry then relates the inside story of Harry Rankin's infamous labeling of Sue Harris, to her face, in a COPE executive meeting as a "cunt-licker" and the reactions of COPE feminists Libby Davis, Jean Swanson and Pat Wilson.
