Over the years, thousands of people visited The Pride House in Beersheba, including around the world. It provides the only answer to the LGBT community in the largest region in Israel, in the Negev. Over the years, The Pride House in Beersheba hosted students from Taglit. The Pride House works in full cooperation with Ben-Gurion University, Beersheba Theater, Be'er Sheva High Schools and other important municipal institutions. The Pride House in Beersheba is as old as the Jerusalem Open House, with greater financial difficulties and equally important achievements. Bat Kol, Chavruta, Hod, Shoval which have articles in english, are smaller and newer organizations, and deal with one issue, with a respect to The Pride House in Beersheba, and they all have articles in Wikipedia and rightly so. Pride in the Likud is a sub-party organization that has no article in the Hebrew Wikipedia but has an article in English Wikipedia.

This article is also important in Wikipedia in English. BAswim (talk) 21:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The encyclopedic importance is explained by the article itself (the pride house was presented to the Supreme Court of its state), as well as from the words of user:BAswim here. Danny-w (talk) 11:37, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Beersheba or Be'er-Sheva

Hi Team,

There is inconsistency in this article between the two terms - Beersheba or Be'er-Sheva. I think we should pick one and stick with it. Beersheba is better known to English speakers, where as Be'er Sheva is more common with Hebrew speaks. What do you think? Chavmen (talk) 11:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, I have changed all Be'er Sheva to Beersheba for consistency. As per the tile "Pride House in Beersheba". It flows better and there is a link in the lede to Beersheba where it mentions the spelling differences. Chavmen (talk) 23:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Link and additional sourcing

Hey again,

Noticed that this reference leads to a dead link:

"Tragedy in Beer Sheva: Founding Member of LGBT Center Killed in Crash Hours After Opening Event". A Wider Bridge. 11 December 2017. Retrieved 2022-04-28.

And I added the 2021 Pride Flag unveiling with a quote from the CEO.

Also fixed some grammar.

If I can help please tag me. Would love to be more a part of this project. Chavmen (talk) 11:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to change/remove dead links but found the above link using Wayback Machine:

If something can replace? Chavmen (talk) 23:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, found this current source:

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-761678

I think it would be good to mention ongoing problems/challenges for Pride House in Beersheba in light of the above article.

We could add a separate section or underneath in year format for 2023. Let me know if anyone is watching this page - or I will go ahead and write it in. Chavmen (talk) 23:34, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
