A TUV woman is facing a council standards hearing after saying she hoped rain at an LGBT pride march "soaks them through to the skin".
Ruth Wilson made the remarks on Facebook when she was a councillor for the party in Mid and East Antrim.
She was responding to a post about Belfast Pride which claimed it was an abbreviation of "Pouring Rain Incessantly Dropping Everywhere" and quoted a biblical verse about a flood.
Ms Wilson wrote in response: "Hope it soaks them through to the skin."
A complaint was made to the Local Government Commissioner for Standards over the remarks in 2018.
Her name has recently been added to a list of 'forthcoming hearings' on the commissioner's website.
Ms Wilson lost her seat in 2019's council elections, but the watchdog can continue to investigate complaints into alleged breaches of the code of conduct.
She is accused of breaching the code in relation to equality obligations, bringing her position or council into disrepute, and not complying with requests of the commissioner.
If found in breach, the commissioner could impose a period of disqualification which would apply to any future stint as a councillor.
Ms Wilson is still a member of TUV.
She and her party did not respond to requests for a comment.
Ms Wilson is the fifth ex-councillor to be listed for forthcoming hearings over complaints still being probed from their time as elected reps.
Ex-DUP councillor and former Ballymoney mayor Ian Stevenson, who was sentenced in 2018 for sexual assault, is accused of bringing the council or his elected role into disrepute.
Independent unionist Jolene Bunting, who caused controversy over her involvement with far-right group Britain First, is accused of bringing Belfast City Council or her elected role into disrepute, improperly using her position and council resources, and not properly registering interests.
Declan Boyle was one of three councillors who quit the SDLP in Belfast but failed to be re-elected as independents. He is accused not properly registering or declaring interests, improperly using his position, as well as not complying with requests as part of the watchdog's investigations.
Brian Duffin, who resigned from Antrim and Newtownabbey council after losing an appeal against a conviction for sexually assaulting a teenage girl, is accused of bringing the council or his elected role into disrepute.
Explaining the actions available against ex-councillors, a standards commissioner spokesman said: "The duration of a period of disqualification is a matter for the commissioner.
"A short period of disqualification may be appropriate where the respondent is no longer a councillor in circumstances where, had he or she been a councillor, suspension would have been the likely sanction.
"This would ensure that the Respondent does not return to service as a councillor earlier than the period for which he or she would have been suspended had he or she not resigned."
