== LGBT rights ==
In 2012, soon after Ho re-elected as member of Legco, she put forward a proposal calling for public consultation on legislation to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation. This proposal was supported by most of the pro-democrats and some pro-Beijing lawmakers, but was veto by Democratic Party lawmaker [[James To]] (who voted abstained) and pro-Beijing conservative parties.<ref>[http://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/1083187/lawmakers-opposition-gay-rights-law-shames-hong-kong?login=1 Lawmakers' opposition to gay rights law shames Hong Kong]. ''South China Morning Post''</ref> During her terms, Ho is one of only few legislators to openly support [[same-sex marriage]] and other [[LGBT rights]], conservative parties and groups criticised her on this issue. Though most of the pro-democrats support non-discrimination laws, they are less openly discuss and talk about this issue, as the pro-democrats have many supporters with many social conservative views.
