Based on real events, Riot Rainbow focuses on the gay affirmative movement in Australia in the 1980s, as well as a wide variety of people who worked for it. Lance Gauland is a persevering affirmative activist who believes in his ideals from time to time, while maintaining a balance between family, tasks and feelings. The persecution and hostility of the system to them led Lance and his countrymen to decide to compromise for the sake of social diversity. Sally Riley, screenwriter of ABC TV, said: "now is the best time to tell this story about identity, courage and love, because now is the time for marginalized groups to find their voices, stand up bravely, opposing squeeze and injustice. Having such a weak Cass will become an exciting and meaningful program on TV on the 40th anniversary of the Australian gay parade MardiGras. "
