At the onset of the bear movement, some bears separated from the gay community at large, forming "bear clubs" to create social and sexual opportunities for their own. Many clubs are loosely organized social groups; others are modeled on leather biker-patch clubs, with a strict set of bylaws, membership requirements, and charities.

Still, some county officials say the flag is concerning. They worry that the negative backlash could impact tourism and development.

While some see it as a symbol of heritage, others say it's concerning as many groups have used it to promote hate rhetoric.

Bear is a gay slang term. It describes a hairy, heavy-set (sometimes muscular) gay or bisexual man. A bear typically projects an image of rugged masculinity. Some bears present a very masculine, over-the-top image of a ruggedly masculine man.

"If people are using it in a negative way, it does make me uncomfortable especially being a black woman in the South. You want it to stop, you want it to go away," one traveler, who did not want to be identified, told ABC11.

Evans first visited the site this morning after he was flooded with calls from residents and visitors. He plans to draft a resolution addressed to the Sons of Confederate Veterans politely asking them to take it down.

One resident stopped to view the flag after four of his friends called to tell him about it. He was elated and says the flag is a part of his heritage.

GODWIN, North Carolina (WTVD) -- There's a growing concern about a Confederate battle flag flying along I-95 in Cumberland County. It's located near Wade and Godwin at exit 61.

The memorial is on private property and is covered by free speech. Initially, there were reports to officials that it may violate building code; however, Cumberland County Engineering and Planning Department told ABC11 that there's no zoning ordinance that limits the flagpole height.

In male gay culture, Bear Pride (a bear) is often a larger, hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity. Bears are one of many LGBT communities with events, codes, and a culture-specific identity. However, in San Francisco in the 70's any hairy man of whatever shape was referred to as a 'bear' until the term was appropriated by larger men and other words had to be found to describe hairy other-shaped men such as otter (slim) or wolf (medium-build).

"This flag will hurt us in more ways than one. Economic development, tourism, and we can't afford to sit by and not address it," said Commissioner Charles Evans.

"I'm all for it, because I'm from the South. A lot people in North Carolina died on account of this flag," said the resident, who did not want to be identified.

It's been the talk of the town for two days. The Sons of Confederate Veterans raised the flag on Wednesday as part of a memorial honoring civil war hero Theophilus Hunter Holmes. The group says the flag is on a 90-foot pole and measures 20 feet by 30 feet.

The SCV said the installation is part of a "Flags Across the Carolinas project" and will include a memorial site and cemetery. It also said more flags are planned.
