Abstract
In the present paper, we offer to introduce the concept of heteronormativity and its influence on family therapy interventions. We emphasis the dominant role heteronormativity has created over Indian families, that existence or emergence of queer concepts creates innumerable issues. Queer theory's perspective has been used to expand our knowledge and practice beyond the demarcation of heteronormativity. Finally, we emphasis the need of a shift in our therapeutic approaches too. Yet the question persists that are we ready to learn and adapt?
