Students at a Massachusetts charter school will perform a biblical play of Genesis with gay characters.

This comes despite objections from many who say it's offensive to Christians.

In a letter to parents, administrators at the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Public Charter School said the play is consistent with the school's philosophy and appropriate for a high school audience.

But they did admit to receiving email petitions and phone calls describing the production as "blasphemous and hateful." 

Some of the messages from opponents also say they plan to organize protests through local churches.

The play is a 1998 comedy called "The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told."
