The compulsory attendance for every student at a girl's high school to watch a gay parenting documentary instead of their scheduled classes has made the parents see red.

As part of Wear it Purple day, all 1200 students at Burwood Girls High School, in Sydney's inner west, are required to watch a special screening of Gayby Baby during third and fourth periods this Friday, The Daily Telegraph reported.

After the movie, the girls are encouraged to show off their purple outfits at a fashion parade under a rainbow flag, with the opportunity to win a prize for the most purple student, while snacking on purple cupcakes.

But when some parents expressed their outrage after receiving the flyer informing them of the day, the school sent out a letter on Monday allowing children to sit in the library instead of watching the film if they have written requests from their parents.

The movie, written by former student Maya Newell - who grew up with two mums, tells the story of four kids who all have gay parents and are about to face adolescence.

Local presbyterian minister Mark Powell said he had been contacted by many parents who weren't happy about the event.
