Who does the bear represent?

It represents anyone willing to defend others from biggotry.

Given the history of the civil rights movement there is one group that famously came before the others. So the adult bear is for black rights?

I don't know if that's how the author wanted it read but it could be read that way.

Also showing any of the other movements as cubs seems odd. Stonewall happened in the 60s.

The whole message of pride is unity and alliance. So one dominant force protecting the others doesn't fit for me. Attack one, attack all. That's the way it should be represented.

I think your on to a great idea here - it'd be great to see it manifested into something.

My first thought was a parent bear defending its cubs.
