Let's link it. Queer Theory

It has been argued by feminists throughout the centry, that gender roles are not fit, but depend on the individuals. That gender roles or identity shouldn't be enforced by society, culture or eductors so that individuals could be themselves without acting out to prove their 'masculinity or femininty".

It is not a bad idea. But the reality of it is genders are a biological factors, a recognizable identity by others whether you like it or not. And the downplay of gender identity may or may not help those who are oppressed because of their gender and sexual orientation.

//Actually, i am a Christian and heteosexual person.
Therefore, i am not trying to help them but to define what is love?//

Why do you say that? Being heterosexual is not automatically excuse you from helping those who are oppressed. And GLBT already know the definition of love, and don't really need you or me or anyone else to help them to define what love is.

I assume you have good intention. But as I know many GLBT, many of them Christians who are being hurt, harm, abused by other Fundie Christians disguise as 'love', I tend to me on my guard whenever the word 'help' is being mentioned, especially by heterosexual Christian.
