Where does the Donated Money go?
PFLAG encourages gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual or trangendered and queer (GLBTQ) youth to attend chapter meetings and take advantage of meetings, information, and support the chapters offer. PFLAG publishes a wealth of literature that can be useful to young people who are discovering their identity, and most chapters make that information available to those attending the meetings.

Opinion
I do agree with PFLAG being as an effective group because many people that are scared to express their feelings can now express themselves by having the same type of people around them. People who understand them and are willing to listen without judgment.
