Weird that they misspelled their name on the banner.

Am I missing something here?

It's anglicized from Hebrew בַּיִת (house); there are a bunch of accepted ways to spell it, including "bet" and "bayt" as well.

They support gay rights and fine wine and spirits, we can forgive the spelling misteake.

Beth, Beit, Beis, all mean 'home' they probably changed it to be more inline with modern pronunciation/spelling, though I didn't see anything to that effect.
