A provocative new series on SBS is set to explore some of the most controversial issues in Australian society, starting with marriage equality.

‘Living with the Enemy’ will see opposing groups of people spend time living in each others households.

The first episode features gay activist couple being teamed up with a Christian Minister.

Gregory and Michael are gay activists, atheists and engaged to be married, while David is a husband, a father of three and a conservative  Anglican minister who believes sexually-active gay people do not have the right to marry.  

Gregory and Michael stay with David for the first five days of the experiment, and they’re in for a series of surprises starting with being banished to sleep in a caravan rather than under the same roof as David’s children and ending with the discovery that David has a genetically identical twin brother who used to be gay.  Then the experiment swaps and David attends Greg and Michael’s wedding in New Zealand before marching in Melbourne’s Gay Pride parade.  

Future episodes include focuses on immigration, detention centres, Islam, Marijuana and hunting.

Tune in at 8:30pm tonight for the first episode.
