On August 2 , 2009 , following the 2009 Tel Aviv gay centre shooting , the Pride House organized a protest and a spontaneous parade throughout the city of Be'er Sheva . The parade marched from the city 's district court , through the municipal market , to the local branch of the LGBT association . About 400 people took part in the spontaneous parade . It was actually the first LGBT pride parade in town , and in Israel south of Tel Aviv . The murderous attack on young people from the LGBT community raised the need for a local center to provide support and clarify the need for a local pride house in Be'er Sheva , which led to continued funding
