So this article appeared in a local blog here in Boston:
I'd love to see the look on the picketer's faces while they try to figure this out.
"Wait.....by protesting gay rights we're actually raising money for gay rights??
uuhhhhh!!!!!
aaaAAHHHH!!!

Rev. Fred Phelps' vitriolic, anti-gay group of supporters will be in Cambridge on Friday, March 13 to protest Cambridge Rindge & Latin's gay-straight alliance club called Project 10 East.
The good news? A counter-protest is in the works spearheaded by Driving Equality organizer Chris Mason. For every minute that the Phelps' congregation pickets Cambridge Rindge & Latin high school with their infamous "God Hates Fags" signs, donors are encouraged to pledge a set amount to Driving Equality.
The longer the group pickets CRLS, the larger the donation to the activist group organized by 27-year-old Tufts student Mason, who plans to make a 85-day trek across America in May to all of the lower 48 states to advance LGBT equality.
Driving Equality plans to display a sign in front of the "God Hates Fags" clan tallying how much money they have helped raise for gay rights.
Mason held a similar Phelps-a-thon outside of the Bad Habit production of "The Laramie Project" at the BCA on Dec. 12, 2008. The counter-protest raised $4,647 in 45 minutes.
