Through All the Moving Colours
The story
Clara asks her girlfriend Aurora how she discovered she was gay, and Aurora tells her the story using dance as a visual metaphor. She discusses how she felt confused for many of her younger years because she didn’t feel attraction and talks about past relationships to demonstrate various aspects of her frustrations. Growing up without any exposure to queer love, she never knew that her feelings were valid, and she felt broken. Clara comforts Aurora by telling her that she experienced similar things and that a lot of lesbians go through similar thought processes in a heteronormative society. Aurora ends her story by explaining how she found herself after moving cities and seeing queer people exist around her. She then met Clara and fell in love, finally feeling safe, found and understood.
